"Leaving the studio to explore the world and paint outside has been a joy. Working on site is a reciprocal communicate with the nature, passersby, and oneself. It is spontaneous yet requires much insight."

Martha Holden, December 2004


"My compositions on paper are a blend of collage, collotype, and monoprints. These mixed techniques allow the elements to be restructured into a more pictorial form as I look for the harmony and rhythm in the different shapes.

By printing and drawing and having the various elements for each piece on hand, I can create and allow the pieces to evolve spontaneously. This assemblage of papers allows the interplay of chance in their integration."

Martha Holden, July 2000
