Martha Oakes is an artist and designer based in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Martha’s works include various mediums. Her most recent collection consists of oil on canvas accompanied by handmade wooden frames made by Martha and her father Jim. Her compositions are heavily inspired by nature, specifically the coastal landscapes that inspire her everyday life in New England. She aims to create abstract pieces of work that instill a sense of calm and serenity with a deep connection to the outdoors.

Martha grew up in London, Philadelphia and Connecticut. After studying architecture at the University of Colorado, she lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for ten years. Martha now resides in COHASSET, MASSACHUSETTS with her HUSBAND and two children. Throughout all the various places Martha has called home, her greatest source of inspiration comes from the island of Martha’s Vineyard, where her parents live year-round.
