Biography

“To me, the human ability to paint is a miracle.”

Martina Latimer is a Brisbane based oil painter. Her investigation is driven by her love for painting and her interest in what it takes to foster positive relationships in life. Long periods of looking at nature, reflecting on social interactions as well as on philosophical writings are activities that feed into her artworks. She paints in layers, intertwining traditionally rendered plants with drawings of human interactions to offer an intimate view into how she goes about personal growth. She intends to evoke a sense of hopefulness and self-reflection in her audience.
