"Osterman explores way to express space as it is perceived in
the modern era of space exploration," says gallery owner Ruth
Morpeth. "Using multiple layers of watercolor on paper, she imbeds
sheer papers, strokes of Sumi ink, and energy marks made with pencil
to create a sense of active space."
Martin’s large-scale abstract paintings make their own emotional statements.
"These works are poured with thin layers of oil paint, manipulated,
and poured again to create large fields of texture and color. Her
work expresses states of being and is a reflection of her own sensibilities
and thoughts in the moment."
