She is able to capture the essence of light in her floral and landscapes as well as creates a calm presence to the viewer. Marti also paints bold acrylics in a modernism, semi-abstract style, emphasizing on the Hawaiian lifestyle today. Marti was the stylist and colorist for 15 years at Honolulu’s G.
