Based in Sydney, Martine Vanderspuy has had a lifetime love affair with the sea which has led to her aerial inspired resin paintings. 
Living abroad for most of her early life, her family finally settled in Australia where she finished her schooling and went on to study graphic art. As a graphic artist she worked in Canada and Australia in the advertising world. She established her own graphic art studio in1982 which won many awards within its field. In 2015 she established her own art gallery in Northbridge, Sydney.
She has exhibited her art in many Galleries in Australia. 
Her art has been selected as a Finalist for the Hunters Hill Art prize 2017.
She has also exhibited as an invited emerging artist in Florence in July 2017, and in Canne (France).

Martine has experimented with many different mediums. Resin however has become her favorite and principal medium of experimentation and creativity. The medium is fluid in nature and extremely difficult to work with as it constantly moves, making it a challenge to capture the colour and fluidity of the final composition. Using many layers, the resin creates vibrancy, colour and clarity, the shadows and the glint of light on water. The tactile nature and depth of the resin almost allows you to dive into the  artwork. Martine aims to create artworks that lift peoples spirts by viewing the ever changing ocean, creating a window to the sea. To her the energy of the Sea represents life. 
Martine hopes to raise much need awareness about a terminal disease...Mitochondrial Disease.
Martine’s son, Tom, suffers from the disease which has no treatment and no known cure. Martine is a passionate supporter for research into understanding Mito with the hopes of finding a cure. Today with the help of family and friends she has raised over $230,000 for research. She truly hopes her art will make a difference.

Based in Sydney, Martine Vanderspuy has had a lifetime love affair with the sea, this has led to her aerial inspired resin art. Through experimentation, she has mastered the difficult process of painting with resin, creating photo realistic work depicting the moods of the ocean. Martine’s paintings inspire the feeling of movement and open a visual window onto the sea. Her bold compositions use the fluidity and translucency of resin to capture dazzling effects of light & water. Living abroad for most of her early life, her family finally settled in Australia where she finished her schooling and went on to study graphic art. As a graphic artist she worked in Canada and Australia in the advertising world. She established her own graphic art studio in1982 which won many awards within its field. In 2015 she established her own art gallery in Northbridge, Sydney - Martine Gallery. Martine exhibits her resin paintings in numerous exhibitions in the US, Europe and Australia. Her works are held in private collections around the world. She has exhibited with The Other Art Fair in Sydney and Los Angeles four times over the past few years. “I am inspired by the ocean: its power, beauty, and tranquility. This multitude of moods is what I am trying to convey in my painting.” The Martine Gallery helps to raise funds and create awareness of research into Mitochondrial(Mito) disease. Martine’s son Tom suffers from the disease which has no known cure. Martine is a passionate supporter for research into understanding Mito with the hopes of finding a cure. A percentage of sales are donated to Mitochondrial Disease (Mito) research. Mito is a debilitating genetic disorder that robs the body’s cells of energy, causing multiple organ dysfunction or failure and potentially death. Martine’s passion is to support finding a cure for her son and many others by using her talents as an artist to spread her message though out the world. Mito Care keeping Tommy and many others smiling. Donations can be made at All imaes © Martine Vanderspuy
