Martita, Redux

Acrylic On Canvas

Martha Rodriguez

March 29, 2016 · San Francisco · "Martita, Redux" is based on a school photo of myself at around age 6. It is sized at 12 x 12" x 3" and using acrylics on canvas.

My first painting since being back from Seattle and in remission. I called it: Martita, Redux. I used the word redux to describe someone revived, brought back, restored. I would say that word best describes my current state. I have been revived.
My year long battle with Leukemia has brought back many memories of my childhood. This painting brings back the feeling of innocence and connection to family.

Martha did not start painting on canvas until she was almost 50 years old and had just a dozen years to focus on this medium before her death. In this collection you will find a window into the process of how she developed her ideas and prepared them for the canvas.

The Women is a collection of female imagery from Martha's imagination and dreams from the years 2004 through 2016. The faces, dresses, hair and jewels have a breathtaking diversity, but their style is unmistakably and uniquely Martha. We present them as a tribute and celebration of the feminine inspiration that was always at the heart of her work
