I love to paint! Period. Although I won the annual art award my senior year in high school (long long ago), "life" got in the way of my pursuing an art career. When I turned 60 I just decided to start; to learn as best I could. I am a member of the "It's never to late to start club". Thank goodness for the internet - so many wonderful art videos available.

I was born and raised through my teenaged years, in New Orleans. It framed my vision of life. It was and continues to be a place of extremes: beauty and decay, religion and ritual, custom and iconoclasm. From that experience, I acquired an excitement for visual matters: colors, forms and even artifacts. Having lived on the border with Mexico for ten years changed my view of contemporary culture and our collective social responsibility. As a result, the expression of my imagery has become more topical.

• Read more about PJP Martin

  I define my work as an opinion to express, which is created to invoke the thoughts, emotions and impression of the viewer. Because art is subjective, I create so the viewer can effortlessly engage with the art. I create original abstract, expression, modern, realism and contemporary works of art. My images are not confined to one subject matter or design, surface or medium. Canvases are always primed and each work a series of under paintings, layered one after another, until the final image is achieved, and I am confident the expression is complete.
