Event Navigation
The Dayton Society of Artists is pleased to announce Edy Martin: Retrospective Art Show and Sale will be featured in their gallery during the first weekend of June. The artist, Edy Martin, and her family will be holding the opening reception on Friday, June 2, 6 to 9 PM and will continue the celebration of art on Saturday, June 3, 2 to 6 PM. It is Martin’s hope to sell her work to loving families and donate a portion of the proceeds to Dayton’s Food Pantry.
Martin has always been in love with art starting when she was a child into adulthood. Martin’s husband was a part of the Air Force; during assignments in Germany she took art lessons and found inspiration at world famous art museums like the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. When her husband retired, they settled in Huber Heights and Martin continued her art education at Sinclair Community College, Wright State University, and workshops by noted American artists. Martin has called the Dayton area home for nearly 50 years. Through those many years, Martin has been a long time member of many art clubs both locally and nationally. In addition to being a member of the Dayton Society of Artists for nearly 50 years, she is also a member of the Ohio Plein Air Society and founding member of the American Impressionist Society.
Martin describes her work as painterly and impressionistic. Having painted most of her life, Martin has created a record of her surroundings in the form of portraits, still life, and Dayton area landscapes. Most of her work is completed in oil paint or pastel and hopes to convey to the viewer the same emotion that inspired her to create.
The Dayton Society of Artists is honored to have Edy Martin’s work in the gallery for a limited time exhibition. Come support one of Dayton’s veteran artists with your presence and leave enriched with community and maybe a bit of Dayton history in the form of an artwork for your home.
