Martha Spak is a self-taught artist and is best known for her ethereal paintings. Her inspiration comes from everywhere ~ a vivid sunset, tranquil water, or a beautiful keepsake from traveling or a family heirloom. Each painting portrays a mood. She paints in acrylics building the surface with layers of thin translucent glazes to create depth with each stroke. Martha opened the Martha Spak Gallery in Washington, DC in 2017 where she exhibits her work and other local artists. She is an art speaker and has taught landscape painting at the Yellow Barn Studio at Glen Echo Park, MD.
