The Heartbreak Series

The Heartbreak series marked the beginning of Martha Martin’s rise as an artist—raw, intimate, and emotionally charged works that struck a chord with audiences across Southern California. These pieces, born from personal rupture, found wide public resonance and critical acclaim. Her work was featured in over 25 exhibitions and earned recognition from CityBeat, The Reader, Pacific Magazine, and the Gaslamp ArtWalk, where she won First Place.

As her artistic voice deepened, Martha’s path expanded beyond the studio. Motivated by a desire to create lasting positive impact, she stepped into high-level advisory roles—working with global leaders, social movements, and system-change initiatives.

Today, she returns to her art through the HumanNature series—where the emotional depth of her early work converges with a new sense of purpose: to inspire connection, reawaken awe, and invite us into a deeper relationship with the living world.
