Martha Baum

Bio

Martha Baum draws inspiration for her paintings from the Maine coast, creating works with a strong sense of place.  She focuses on the play of light on the coastal landscape and the strong hues found near the ocean to create works that depict Maine’s unique beauty.  Currently, Martha divides her time between painting “en plein air” in and around Bath, as well down the nearby peninsulas, and working in her studio.

Martha studied drawing, painting, and print-making at the Art Student’s League of Denver from 1987 to 1993.  During that time, she made frequent trips to Maine to paint and gather materials for further works. Eventually, the pull of Maine’s coast brought her to Bath, Maine, where she  now lives full-time, painting and teaching from her studio.
