Martha Brouwer
marthabrouwer@gmail.com

Martha Brouwer got her bachelor's degree from Lawrence University and her masters degree from Harvard University. She was a weaver for 4 years before becoming a graphic artist. She was also the Art Director of four publications. During the past eight years she has devoted herself to painting, primarily watermedia but also encaustics and collage.

The artist notes: "I am inspired by the character traits of birds in the Pacific Northwest and try to portray this in my art. I like the elusive and transitory nature of these birds. I try to express this with color, design and texture. I'm looking for the feeling of birds in a particular setting as opposed to exact representational detail.

I'm a member of Seattle Co-Arts, Northwest Watercolor
Society, and the Northwest Collage Society.
