Mary Martin,  Pittsburgh, PA

Mary’s work is visualized in clay, metal, glass, and collage mediums. Her art is a mirror of her identity. Intricate carvings and linear patterning adorn her functional and sculptural artworks. These creatively woven markings and forms affirm her ancestry.  Her functional teapots are made for the informal & formal gatherings that bring humanity together. Her work reflects a double-consciousness that encompasses both her West African lineage and her urban existence in Pittsburgh. Mary’s artwork speaks to her identity, familial bonds, spirituality, and her endless search for peace.
