More About the Author
Marty is from a family of artists going back several generations. Raised in Santa Barbara, she pursued her creative interests from an early age, settling on the batik technique in the early 60's. From simple pieces the work grew into very detailed paintings earning her a reputation is area galleries as well as in the illustration field. In 1980 she switched to watercolor and pursued opportunities with art publishing firms and has since enjoyed seeing her designs used as book illustration, posters, puzzles, greeting cards, plate designs and calendars. Her primary focus in the last 15 years has been as an illustrator for Dover Publications where she has had 230 books published that include a series of coloring books of many of the famous painters and art movements as well as a variety of design and activity books for artists and children, Marty lives in Anna Maria Florida, where she finds continual inspiration for her current series of photo art prints. Her passion for photography and mastery of computer art programs have enabled her to marry the two in her recent print series depicting the natural beauty of southern Florida

OK, but don't expect a lot,
By "tndiane" (Bellevue, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ancient Greek Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I love these Archive Series type of books to get inspiration for crafts and art. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with this particular one since it shows the best stuff on the cover and a few on the inside. Mostly there are enormous pictures of approximately 2-3 to a page. In fact, 18 of the 44 pages of illustration are large, single images. The illustrations are good in that there is not a lot of clutter (lots of clean spaces) and can be used as cameos, or 2 color contrasts. However, I must say that this book is not the pictoral reference that I expected. It really reminds me of a coloring book. On the other hand, the book does make an effort to briefly describe where these pictures were originally from.
