The story behind “Dust and Stars”:

I didn’t start with a plan—just a deep pull to explore the space between heaven and earth. I laid down layers of colour, shadow, and light, letting my hands move before my mind could catch up. Slowly, a shape began to take form between the palms—celestial, raw, and alive.

“Dust and Stars” is about that holy tension we live in daily. We were made from the dust of the earth, yet marked with the fingerprints of heaven. We’re fragile, temporary—and still, God breathes His image into us. The piece reflects that paradox: hands dirt-stained and human, holding something too glorious to contain. Creation. Calling. Glory. All suspended in motion.

It’s a reminder that we don’t have to fully understand the sacred to hold it with reverence. That beauty often emerges not from control, but from surrender.

Part of the Created in Colour collection, “Dust and Stars” speaks to the divine spark within us—the mystery of being made and being entrusted. It’s visual worship. Bold, cosmic, and deeply human.

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.
