My creative outlet is drawing and painting using mixed media. The work partly maps my thoughts, the work evolves slowly, sometimes surprisingly offering new ideas and directions.
Nicole Lenzi’s work questions what a drawing is and its link to thinking. Recent works explore the relationship between drawing and time along with daily life. She works between mediums and dimensions to expand the concept of drawing which includes installation, photography, and works on paper. Lenzi has exhibited in galleries and museums nationally and internationally and has a B.F.A. from Carnegie Mellon University and an M.F.A. from Maryland Institute College of Art. She is based in Baltimore, MD, United States.
A Maryland painter and art educator. Martin has a B.F.A. from the Maryland Institute College of Art and has been concentrating on landscape and figurative painting for fifty years.

I grew up on a farm in Western Maryland. Living in a rural environment brought me to learn from and appreciate nature. The outdoors was and still remains my preferred classroom. My sourcing for inspiration is somewhat similar to how I source my materials. I will look to my immediate surrounding environment: the flora, the animals, the people, the landscape; and I will reach out to cultures and environments from around the world.
I'm a visual artist based in Hagerstown, Md. I’m a worship leader and music producer as well. But most importantly, I’m a husband to the woman of my dreams, and a father to two beautiful girls.
I began drawing at age 4 and painting at the age of 8. Even at such a young age, I found a strong passion to capture the world around me through different art mediums. I put down painting for over 15 years, but have recently picked it back up and found my passion and love for it again.
