Growing up in the Kootenays, Mandolin Martin's art is a testament to her deep-rooted connection with nature. Surrounded by the mountains and forests of rural British Columbia, Martin gets inspiration from her profound appreciation of the earth's giving lifeforce. Her artistic journey is a reflection of this bond, as she seeks to capture the essence of the natural world through her work.
Working primarily with clay, Martin crafts intricate pieces that serve as windows into the wilderness. Her creations, decorated with inspiration from North American plants and animals, not only celebrate nature but also convey a message of respect and harmony with the environment.
