After painting throughout childhood, primarily using watercolors, Laura Blair took her first class in oil painting at the University, where she later excelled in building and creating large-scale oil paintings.<\/p>\n

She also studied interior design while at Alabama, and has since used that knowledge to influence her paintings, specifically commissioned work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to engage the viewer into an imaginative world, and rather than interfering with nature, create a profound abstract composition. The dramatic affects that color has on people inspires me to use them in my paintings as a means of evoking emotion through each stroke.”<\/p>\n

His career journey meandered through a stint in the Military in California and Maryland, many years in the Orient as a Chinese Mandarin linguist, many more years in the Washington, D.C. area as Operating Manager for a major corporation, and finally marriage at age 40 and permanent relocation to Tennessee as Vice President of a Financial Management company.<\/p>\n

    During all the while he pursued a music career with bands, in piano bars, and as a church organist for over 60 years. He is now retired and just plays bridge (a Bronze Life Master in the ACBL), paints, and enjoys life.<\/p>\n

    Both Martin\u2019s original paintings, as well as smaller sized prints, will be available for sale.<\/p>\n
