The story behind “The Watcher”:

There’s a kind of knowing that animals carry—the kind that doesn’t ask for attention but commands it anyway. That’s what struck me about this piece from the moment I began: the stillness, the strength, and the unspoken loyalty behind those golden eyes.

“The Watcher” was painted in a moment of reflection, thinking about the bonds we form with the creatures we love, and how they so often see us more clearly than we see ourselves. This dog isn’t simply posing—it’s bearing witness. Quietly present. Utterly devoted.

The dark background wraps the subject in calm, letting the light speak for itself. Every brushstroke was laid down with care, building depth into the fur, warmth into the gaze, and reverence into the space surrounding it.

Part of the Impressions in Oil collection, “The Watcher” is an intimate portrait of presence—steadfast and soulful. A reminder that love often shows up in the silence, watching, waiting, staying.

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.
