Martha Winter

Martha Winter was born in London where she began her art training. She went on to study Fine Art in Falmouth and Norwich. Her work, whilst sculptural is mainly wall based.  It is the unusual outcome of many influences, from the conventional desire for a sculptor to engage with her materials to the objective observation of the way these materials physically exist in the landscape. The artists fascination with geometry and geology result in calm contemporary pieces.

 The process Martha Winter has developed for creating her work has come out of many years of experimenting. She uses geological materials collected from the landscape including quarries.  The creative process begins by preparing the material by grinding  it down or through meticulously separating it out. Using a variety of techniques this ‘matter’ is then applied onto an armature. Layer upon layer are built up forming permanent and textural surfaces.

 Martha Winter regularly contributes to group exhibitions and art fairs in London and New York. She has been selected for several ‘Open’ exhibitions including  Kettle’s Yard, The Discerning Eye and Artsway. She gained a ‘Year of the Artist’ award from the Arts Council and has received  commissions from her local Council and Arts Organisations. Much of her time is spent developing new work for shows whilst  also working on commissions for private and corporate clients who include The University of Cambridge Chemistry Dept. Schroders Investment Management, Salens, Virgin, Landro Ltd , Eversheds, Cambridge Antibody Technology, Tui Ltd,  Deliotte and Touche, Johnson and Johnson, P&O and Blue Bay Asset Management.
