Martha Ives studied art at Antioch College, the School of Visual Arts, and the Art Students League. Early in her career, watercolor was her medium of choice, but when she attended the Art Students League and began printmaking, she fell in love with the excitement and surprise of making hand-pulled prints. Currently she enjoys making white-line woodcuts--a technique that uses watercolor rather than ink on wood and creates a more painterly and textured look for her relief printmaking. artofmarthaives.com
