Martha Mudd Adrian
A lifelong resident of Hannibal, Martha Mudd Adrian’s work is a mix of Hannibal scenes old and new and still lifes.
As a child, Martha never thought of herself as an artist and it wasn’t until she had her family raised that she started taking art classes with local art teachers. After trying a variety of media she decided that acrylic and oil paint were her media of choice but feels that she is just now starting to figure it out. Many of the gallery artists have told her she will never really figure it out and that there is always something new to learn or try.
Martha continues to take classes mostly on line and often watches YouTube videos. She usually keeps 6 or 7 canvases prepared so when she finds the time and inspiration she is ready. Like many artists she is constantly critiquing her work and lines her pieces in process below her tv screens so she can study them. Her new work is fresh and exciting and full of color.
