Martha Worthy grew up in southwestern Virginia and moved to Hilton Head Island after college in 1981. She finds Hilton Head and the Low country to be a constant source of inspiration for her mixed media paintings and you'll find the essence of the wildness and the beauty that she sees everyday.
Martha has also recently found inspiration by stories found in myth and folklore about native plants, animals, and especially birds. She believes these stories, often circling around the themes of life and death, possess an ancient wisdom and vitality of spirit, while providing a connection to the natural world and acting as an antidote to today’s society of too much data analysis, algorithms for everything, and social media spinout.
