Martha Lane likes to draw and paint houses and people in bright colors.
He cityscapes are full of tall buildings, small people, and an occasional
plane or balloon in the sky. Her portraits show oversized heads with small
facial features and eyes drawn wide apart. It is the innocence of her
artistic style that is most appealing to collectors.
Lane started in art at age 26 in 1993 when she came to NIAD. Two years later,
her art was selected for a t-shirt design for the 1995 AIDS Walk sponsored by
Citibank. One of her multi-colored linoleum prints was exhibited in a 1997
show at Berlex Biosciences corporate headquarters in Richmond, and she is
currently at the NIAD's 2005 exhibit, "A Kuumba Visit to NIAD." Recently,
one of Lane's paintings was reproduced as a gift card through a grant from
Chevron Corporation.
From age 11, Lane grew up with foster parents and now lives in a
board-in-care home. She comes to NIAD daily and will be one of the first
artists to welcome visitors with a warm, "Hello, my name is Martha.
Who are you?"
