She prefers oils because she can create many layers, but her surreal dreamscape style can be seen in drawings, watercolors, or etchings as well. Her style is reminiscent of the impressionist painters, and she loves Picasso and Warhol as well. An artist of many talents, she sculpts and models in clay and in bronze. Marta also plays classical guitar and wows audiences with her band, W.O.M.B. Warriors of Make Believe.

Peggy D. of Michigan says:
"Working with ArtPassions.com for more than seven years has proved to be a great business relationship. We have only experienced high quality product and exceptional customer service during this time. We often use their business for framing normal and “odd-shaped” documents and posters and purchasing prints from a variety of sources which are then framed by ArtPassions.com. On several occasions, they have gone above and beyond to help us when we were on a VERY tight deadline. They work on our timelines and strive to meet and exceed our satisfaction. We have been very pleased with this relationship."
