John Martin

About the Artist In pursuing the medium of watercolor, I find ever more compelling and entrancing the qualities of color, light, reflection, luminosity and form as they appear and reappear in the visual world.

I’m especially moved by the landscapes, seascapes, and architecture I observe during travels to western Europe, particularly in France and Scotland. I have also discovered with some delight that I can make something special out of the ordinary.

As a young child my earliest drawings and paintings earned me a scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago. My serious study of watercolors, however, began relatively late in life when winding down my career as a clinical psychologist.
