Martha Rose Greiner

Raised on a farm Pennsylvania, Martha began doing art work at a young age. As a teenager she obtained a scholarship to the Erie Art Museum, Erie, Pa. and trained as an oil painter. She studied fine art at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa.

She has exhibited and sold her work internationally. Her body of art work is multi media with a wide range of subject matter. Including the lost drawing method the Old Masters used by drawing with metals.

Art critics have described her work as “There is an understated incandescence to the images that is both contemporary and classic all at once. Your works related so strongly to the very concept of perception; your style places you in an artistic realm that is somehow dream-like, almost Surreal, yet not quite there, as if some ghostly memory from a far-away place; yet somehow entirely familiar. Is a vision that resonates with the viewer long after viewing”.

Big Red “Big Red”

The items were found in a local antique store . These things remind me of my escape from farm life growing up near lake Erie in Erie county Pa. In addition , the red sports car represents my husband who has a "need for speed", the woman dressed in a scarf and homemade dress looks like my mother who batted the chickens off the patio with a broom and my dad loved his red chickens. So, I had to paint them .

“The Birds”

So many bird image to count.

“Favorite things”

An abstract painting for an exhibit in NYC called Power of Perception which I interpreted as something you see that you think is one thing then up close you see something different in the details.
