THE ARTIST

Local Rhode Island artist Kathy Martino's work is being both prized and recognized by homeowners, home decorators, appreciators, and patrons of the arts. She initially began crafting in Pawtuxet Village with stenciling, and continues today with what also includes marbleizing, glazing, mural - like stenciling, hand-painted muraling, overall surface "faux finish", tromp l'oeil effect stenciling (tromp l'oeil translates "the fooling of the eye" and involves the creating of an illusion) and now watercolor home portraits.

Her work has been shown at The Artist's Exchange in Cranston, Rhode Island, and at The Gilbert Stuart Museum in Saunderstown, Rhode Island. Kathy has provided backdrop television set work in faux finish for local PBS program Ciao Italia. She has often donated her work for various community organizations. Her Rhode Island charitable contributions include Rhode Island Mentoring in Warwick, Bay View Academy in Riverside, both in Providence Sofia Academy for Girls and The French American School, Warwick's Wyman Elementary School, Aldrich Junior High and Pilgrim High Schools and recently Kent Hospital in Warwick. Watercolor paintings can be viewed at the Kent Hospital Gift Shop. For the past 25 years she has been teaching at The Learning Connection in Rhode Island and now sharing her artistry in lessons. She continues additionally with private art instruction.

THE ARTWORK  

Home portraits use 100% cotton cold pressed Arches paper. Kathy begins the process by taking several photos of your home, or if out of state, can be mailed to her. She then will create a personal watercolor of your home and landscape. Color printed note cards of your home are also available. Paintings like those on the gallery pages range in price and will include a custom-cut mat.

Stenciling, tromp l'oeil, murals or faux finish for your home or business will vary in cost/pricing according to your specific needs or requirements.

Kathy's Stenciling and Faux Finish classes are enrolling through The Learning Connection http://www.learnconnect.com.

Inquiries are welcome for artwork and private lessons.
