Martine Emdur

Years ago, when my brother in law was married to an artist, Martine shared a studio with her. At one of the many exhibitions we attended, her work was featured. It was startling at that time - she really managed to convey the effect of sea water, particularly Sydney's beaches and the feel of diving into this cool, green environment where the light was filtered and ripples made the most fantastic effects. Anyway, one of her works then cost $1,000 and I asked my husband if we should purchase one. Sadly we were too inert to do anything even if we had the money (which we probably didn't then). Her latest exhibition is at Tim Oleson Gallery and her works sell for $40K a pop! Anyway, Martine, you are an inspiration. Here is the link to the SMH article featuring her. http://www.smh.com.au/news/entertainment/arts/out-of-the-blue/2009/02/20/1234633036698.html
