Height 48 in, width 48 in. Martin is an American artist whose work is influenced by her indigenous heritage and visual culture and combines abstract and indigenous motifs, bold lines and geometric color blocks. It's protected with a final layer of varnish.

America Martin's paintings, which she thinks of as anthropological, are concerned with depictions of her indigenous heritage and its visual culture.  The subjects of Martin’s works are predominantly figures, which are modeled after acquaintances and strangers that the artist encounters. Her works characteristically feature chunky and exaggerated human proportions, strong contour lines, and minimal shading—a style influenced by both folk art and modernist painting. She typically works in a large format on unstretched canvas, and also produces mixed-media figurative sculptures and works-on-paper. 

From the private collection of James Bommarito and Tony's Restaurant, St. Louis MO.
