Living Waters by Martha Ponting

Born Martha Sleight in London, Ontario, Martha was raised on a farm on the outskirts of the city. She has experienced Canada through living in various locations, including southwestern Ontario, Yukon, Winnipeg, Wetaskawin (AB), Sidney (BC), Calgary, and the Comox Valley.

Martha came to art later in life and is passionate about painting. Largely self-taught, she is an eager learner and experimenter. Her eclectic work is inspired by Emily Carr and others. Her medium of choice is acrylic on canvas.

Martha has settled in a new studio in a garden setting with abundant natural light. There she paints with exuberance and delights in welcoming visitors.
