Artist's StatementI’m Martha aka Arti Martie, a recent graduate from the University of Brighton. My illustrations focus on bringing a playful touch to everyday things through vibrant colours, quirky humour, and a love for the unexpected.


I love experimenting with all sorts of mediums, from lino printing and wax crayons to gouache and digital doodles on my iPad. My illustrations are filled with odd little characters, delicious foods, sweet animals, and all things nice. Whether it’s a silly scene or a drawing of my pet dog Reggie, I aim to make art that feels joyful and leaves a smile on your face.

I am completely self-taught and started illustrating during lockdown, but it is a hobby that has well and truly stuck. It’s become a great way for me to unwind, focusing on creating nice things for nice people!
