About the Exhibition:
Chasing light is a series of hyper-realistic paintings that celebrate the visual richness of the botanical world. Ranging in size from 10 x 10 to 50 x 60 inches, Martin’s paintings capture vignettes from nature that highlight both the scale and intimacy of densely packed habitats within larger landscapes.
