In the studio Martinich is driven by process. Her paintings are constantly shifting and evolving, building on each other to reflect a particular interest in the technical capacity of paint, each new body of work displaying a curiosity in the application of fluid layers. Informed by years of painting, Martinich works intuitively to create seemingly spontaneous and playful yet balanced compositions; rich in luminous colour and gesture.

Often, Martinich's works are found in unexpected places; stairwells, train stations, building façades... out of the grey mundanity of the urban landscape, colour leaps from the walls giving passersby a snap of culture and joy as they go about their day.
