**About Marta Spendowska** A Polish artist and illustrator now residing in the New England seaside, Marta Spendowska works specifically with water-based materials such as watercolor, acrylic paint, and inks because of their fluidity and immediate responsiveness - a reminder that life does not allow for do-overs. Her intuitive process is deeply influenced by the "twin sisters" of beauty and spirituality, allowing her to delve into intangible, hidden, heartfelt places.
