Sanctuary was painted in the stillness of a summer afternoon on our acreage in the Thousand Islands, with my daughter Autumn — only a few months old — sleeping beside me in her bassinet. I was still new to motherhood, still wide-eyed and overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. That love, raw and radiant, shaped the entire Living Waters collection — and this piece holds that feeling gently.

Soft greens, creams, and pale peaches swirl across the canvas, grounded by a touch of deep rose that anchors the flow. The movement is quiet but sure — like a garden blooming behind stone walls, or a whispered prayer rising in still air. There’s no rush here, only presence.

Sanctuary is a visual refuge — a sacred space made not of walls, but of peace. It’s a reminder that the Spirit often meets us in silence, in softness, and in the safe places we create when we choose to be fully present with love.

Welcome

Hi, I'm Martina

Canadian artist, wife, and mama of two little wild ones. My work is rooted in a longing for peace. It’s in the fleeting moments of creating that I feel closest to God—like something sacred is moving through the process, gently inviting me to listen, trust, and share.

Testimonials

★★★★★

There's something truly remarkable about Martina's work; the intention behind every brushstroke is so easy to see. When you take a step back to see the full painting is where you can see the story it tells and the layers that unfold. Her art doesn't just decorate a space, it speaks to you - and that's not something you can find in a store.

The texture in Martina's paintings is so realistic and engrossing. Her choice of colours is always warm and vibrant. I love her paintings and have one on display in my main living room at home where everyone can see and enjoy it!

I can’t thank Martina enough for the incredible custom piece she painted for me. I commissioned a portrait of the moment I hit a personal best in the deadlift during a powerlifting competition. It was a moment that meant so much to me and she nailed it!

The way she captured my emotions, the intensity, and even the smallest details of my expression and posture was unbelievable. It’s more than just a drawing or painting—it’s a snapshot of one of the proudest moments in my competitive journey as an athlete.

From start to finish, Martina was professional, communicative, and made me eager to get my painting. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out, and it will be hung up in my gym forever.

If you’re thinking about commissioning something meaningful, I can’t recommend Martina enough.

I have one of Martina's charcoal originals and it makes me feel hopeful for my future whenever I look at it. The Parisian scene makes me think of a warm summer night there under a red umbrella. I also have some of her abstracts and they make me feel stimulated and draw my eyes to the stunning pinks and golds. I feel free of the stresses of my life. Her artworks in my front hall way make me feel confident as I put on my shoes and start my day.
