NOEL MARTIN
(The man who puts the ART in Martin)
Born in Newfoundland, Noel has spent almost all of his adult life in Ontario. Always creative, amongst his earliest memories are those of drawing cartoon characters from comic books even before he began attending school. Today he credits his drawing and painting skills to natural talent which has been enhanced by constant practice and doodling which he always indulges in whenever there is a pen and paper near.
Noel's interest in oil painting began in earnest after retirement. He has often been described as a narrative painter and his beautiful paintings reflect his life experiences in a wide variety of subject matter. He also enjoys writing poetry and has had some of his works published. He has also received a number of awards for his work.
Noel and his wife (and fellow artist) Carol-Ann Barrett, showcase their work from their home studios - ARTINMARTIN Studio and Gardens in Owen Sound, Ontario.
Incidentally, "ARTINMARTIN" is derived from his unique signature Noel Martin...the man who puts the art in Martin.
