Martha Escobar

I was born in Medellin, Colombia, South America. I began painting fulltime 9 years ago. In one of my trips to Philadelphia city I visited some galleries and I was surprised when I received an invitation to participate in an exhibition, that was my first step to show my work in the United States. After that exhibition, I have had 6 more shows.

I am a self taught artist; I paint in a traditional style with a variety of subjects. I started painting in my sisters studio. She works as an artist and as a teacher. I have a sensibility for the nature that sorrounds me specially for the vibrant tropical colors and shapes.

I dont have a formal art education, I took some courses in different techniques. I spend my time painting in oil and mixed techniques. I have had solo and collective shows in Philadelphia and in the area of Washington D.C. Buyers of my work had been private collectors in Colombia and in the United States.,
