Martha Willette Lewis

I have to say:
I feel fearful and i realize there are forces that want us that way....what to do? Make art. Be nice to people IRL and on line. Treat them like people. And carry on. Resist this crazy angry psycho nonsense.
So: a detail of new work in the series: Marley's Ghost

Making art ain't always pretty. Close up, in progress from the series Marley's Ghost, meditating on the stream of consumer plastic waste floating behind me....pencil rubbing of my accumulated plastic consumer waste with watermedia paint on unbleached paper.

New work from the series "Marley's Ghost" which considers the invisible stream of plastic streaming behind each of us. Color pencil rubbing on paper over domestic plastic packaging, gofun- oyster shell paint and watercolor on unbleached paper, 2025. “I wear the chain I forged in life"...

My new music review is up at Rootsworld Magazine

I think he did too. I was hard facts.

I so love this. Viva science. Viva the national parks. Viva collective cultural goods like libraries parks the national weather service the post office etc.

Yup get involved. Help something you believe in and trust.

Yes. But how? We need to be able to prove it.

Work in progress, from the series: "What Shines Within" 2025. Crayon rubbing drawing and gouache. You know what is not a waste of time? Drawing. Meaningful, joyful, mind-cleansing and I always learn something.
