About the Item
This abstract painting by artist Ned Martin features a blue heron in profile, looking to the right side of the canvas. The background is composed of blue, silver, and black squares tiled and layered over top of one another, with some rectangles even layered over the feathers of the heron's wings. The painting is signed by the artist on the bottom left-hand corner. It is made with oil and aluminum on board, and is wired and ready to hang.
Located in Brooklyn, Ned Martin is inspired by hectic city life. His work touches on the subjects of nature and community, which are drawn from his childhood memories of rural Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland. Martin’s work is a commentary on the global society, and the idea that everything is connected as one. After studying Fine Arts at Towson State University in Maryland, Martin continued his formal art training at the Schuler School of Fine Arts in Baltimore. Embracing his training and his meticulous process, Martin grinds his own paints. He has painted en plein air on the River Seine in Paris, Scotland, and Italy, all of which have shaped his artistic vision.
Ned Martin says of his work, “I have long believed artists are like mirrors. My job is to reflect that which others are missing while they go about their busy lives. I somehow wish my paintings were less biased, yet, my own emotions from life experiences are in every painting I create. While I still struggle with the idea, I must be completely honest that every painting is a self-portrait.”

Ned Martin
Located in Brooklyn, Ned Martin is inspired by hectic city life. His work touches on the subjects of nature and community, which are drawn from his childhood memories of rural Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland. Martin’s work is a commentary on our global society and the idea that everything is connected as one. After studying fine arts at Towson University in Maryland, Martin continued his formal art training at the Schuler School of Fine Arts in Baltimore. Embracing his training and his meticulous process, Martin continues to grind his paints. He has painted en plein air on the river Seine in Paris, Scotland, and the vineyards of Italy, all of which have shaped his artistic vision. Reclaimed aluminum printing plates have become Martin’s sole painting surface. He often leaves a bit of aluminum plate visible through the painted surface to enhance the depth of the work. “The imagery of the used printing plates is part of my expression—current social commentary that becomes embedded in the art forever,” Martin explains.

- How Birds See II: contemporary abstract painting w/ bird in white green & purpleBy Deirdre MurphyLocated in Bryn Mawr, PA"How Birds See II" is a musing on birds ability to see a greater variety of colors than humans. Murphy imagines that they see a patterned spectrum of colors and chroma that pops like flowers. "As an artist, my paintings, prints, sculpture and public art are made with the attentiveness of a scientist, observing our natural world beyond the visible surface. My interest lies in the interconnected qualities of art and science, specifically the micro / macro patterns that reveal our connectedness; be it migratory avian flight patterns shared commonality with immigration routes, or how light pollution maps mirror viral molecular patterns, or aerial views of watershed systems that reveal vascular patterns. Through the act of creating, I am aware of being both infinitesimally minute and integrally part of a larger whole. It is this dichotomy and the vastness of these images that provides perspective to our humanity." - Deirdre Murphy...Category
