I transform what the world discards into vibrant, modern landscapes. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, my work explores the intersection of nature, geography, and sustainability. Using hand-tufted, reclaimed T-shirt fibers, I build bold topographical compositions that map the delicate interplay of shadows, textures and push the possibilities that the materials hold.

About the practice
From the earliest days of crafting "mud pies, building forts, and making sand carvings" in the DFW countryside, Martha has had a deep-seated passion for art and nature. Her professional life as an Art Director and graphic designer immersed her in the world of designing books, magazines, and advertising campaigns. This period, though creatively intense, refined her eye for design and my understanding of visual impact, skills that seamlessly translate into her current artistic practice. She has experienced a powerful re-ignition of her artistic passion. The last 12 years has been a journey of rediscovery and exploration. It took lots of exploring and experimenting, but she has found her unique creative voice, channeling her energy into the exciting and endless possibilities of reclaimed t-shirt fiber art. This medium allows her to constantly push boundaries and explore new forms with wearable waste. Martha’s work was featured along with 55 female Texas artists in the 2025 Texas Vignette Art Fair. In an effort to inspire and connect with fellow Dallas-Fort Worth artists, she founded The Fiber Revival in April 2025. The Fiber Revival primary color challenge “12 Squared” Exhibit featured at The Grackle Art Gallery during the Fort Worth Fall Gallery Night 2026. While balancing creation and engaging with the community, she aims to create a community passionate about using reclaimed fiber materials in fine art.
