Patricia McNabb Martin
Style and Technique
Basic, raw and stretching boundaries, Pat McNabb Martin leaves each composition to the viewer’s discretion. Never over intellectualizing a painting she concerns herself with the canvas surface always experimenting to create new and unique marks. Each painting is an emergent field of color often laced with exotic fluorescent and metallic paints. Her intuitive use of the canvas surface, texture and color saturates the viewer’s eye allowing for personal interpretation.
Pat McNabb Martin is an accomplished art educator, filmmaker, graphic designer and manufacturer/designer of hand painted women’s clothing and accessories. For eighteen years she designed and built single family homes on spec in Southern CA., where she currently resides. In 2002 she returned to painting full time.
