Suzette Marie Martin is a mixed media painter.
Her work bears witness to ecological trauma through combinations of scientific data with figurative, symbolic, and archival imagery. Martin’s layers of gestural marks, translucent washes, and hand-written text examine how data-based evidence, culture, and history shape humanity’s complex relationship to climate and environmental crises.
