I paint things that have a life of their own. motion and emotion.I favor acrylic or watercolor. I've always felt the subject suggests the type of medium to use, which I think naturally changes my style slightly. The limitations or quality of the mediums chosen can also be decisive..I was steered away from the art room by the teachers at Burnley Grammar School towards the maths and physics departments. Whilst studying Physics and Maths at Habergham High school I would sneak into the art classes although not officially part of my curriculum .
in 1984 armed with a camera in one hand and a brush in the other Martyn fled the unemployment of the North in search of something else..Since then some years have seen a flury of paintings and others have due to family commitments less..but nether the less a stream of works that relate in their undertones the social issues of our time.
I studied life painting at Sapir Collage. And from 2005 to 2007 studied Media Design , which gave me another way to express my art 2008 I moved with my family to Argentina.
