"Students of the art world know families of artists such as the Peales, the Wyeths and the Calders, but there was another prominent Philadelphia family of artists - the Martinos." - James McClelland
Nina will be sharing her experiences and expertise through several workshops and courses during 2021 to be held virtually with Zen Acres! This exhibition is an opportunity to hear from her first hand and catch a glimpse into her immediate family's body of work.

“Walkway, Schuykill River, Philadelphia” by Nina Martino
Artist Statement:
This talk and exhibition will include information and works by the four Martino Family members. I am the only surviving daughter/sibling. My future was predetermined as I was incredibly fortunate to be an offspring into a family of accomplished artists. My father, Giovanni Martino, N.A., was noted for his Manayunk and New Hope landscapes and is classified as an important PA Impressionist. My mother, Eva Marinelli Martino, developed her own style and themes, portraying realistic life size figures, interiors and still life. My sister, Babette, was noted for her pristine, dramatic, simplistic surreal suburban landscapes. My themes for the last decade are of Cityscapes of Philadelphia. The Schuylkill River, the historical classical buildings vs the avant-garde skyscrapers. The paintings are a compelling, descriptive enhanced evolution of history-past and present day.
