Equestrian Portraits
"The Artwork of Martha Whidden is outstanding. I requested she do a portrait of my Morgan show horse. It is not only a beautiful drawing, but it came alive before my eyes. She captured the personality of my vibrant and high-spirited horse. It is a treasure I will enjoy for a lifetime. I highly recommend her work."

Commemorative Art
For celebration and remembrance . . .
Art depicting a special moment from the past becomes a treasured gift! This drawing was commissioned as a 50th Wedding Anniversary gift from the couples' family to commemorate their first date. Commemorative drawings also make great "Thank you" or going-away gifts.
Especially for horse lovers . . .
Horses have so many textures! When drawing this majestic animal, I strive to capture the unique personality and physical traits of your beloved companion. Realizing that a horse owner knows every detail of their trusty steed's physical appearance and character, my ultimate goal is to get your portrait as close to perfection as possible. Customer satisfaction is very important to me, so I work hard to achieve this.
Architectural Portraits
Meaningful places . . .
Consider a work of art to commemorate a special place or historical landmark. Before I begin these portraits, I like to learn the historical or sentimental significance of the structure. Doing so enables me to showcase the character of the building along with it's unique architectural features. An Architectural Portrait is a great gift for any occasion!
Pet Portraits
Honoring a faithful friend . . .
A hand-drawn portrait of your pet will give your best animal friend a "regal" look! I smile the entire time I'm drawing pets! A pet portrait is a cherished gift for a pet-lover and guaranteed to bring smiles!
Traditional Portraits
Favorite Faces . . .
I have always enjoyed drawing the human face. I have drawn faces of all ages, ranging from infants to senior citizens. I can make someone appear younger, if desired. My goal in drawing your loved one's portrait is to make sure that their unique personality shines through in the drawing. I pay close attention to the eyes, where personality lurks! In order to capture the intricate features of a face, it is very important that I work from a high quality photo, so that I can see tiny details in the corners of the eyes and other areas which are sometimes hidden within shadows.

"Martha did a portrait of my dogs, Oscar and Angie. It came out even better than I had hoped. She did a wonderful job of capturing their personalities. We will enjoy it for many years to come!"

COVER ILLUSTRATION & DESIGN
"We appreciate so much, the meticulous detail and thought that went into each aspect of our CD cover. Martha listened to all of the songs many times, in part, to capture the mood and emotion evoked from the music and incorporate them into her art. She nailed it!!! The choice of soft pencil drawings with subtle bursts of pastel colors works perfectly and accompanies our songs in the best possible way. We hope to work with Martha in the future, not only because of her talent, but because she is also such an easy person to communicate with. She's friendly, professional and produces artwork of the utmost high quality."

I have drawn traditional portraits in both black & white and color for many years, and it is always heart-warming to see the joy on the recipient's face. Traditional portraits are a lasting treasure and make a great gift for any occasion.
"Martha was so easy to work with and was so patient as I asked for changes until our Mom's face was an exact replica. It was exactly what we wanted and our parents loved it!!!"

"Working with Martha is a great pleasure. We've worked together for several years now. She is among one of the easiest people to work with. Martha has designed and drawn nearly all of my book covers. Her artistic vision, creativity, and collaboration highlight her impressive skill sets. Martha is a great communicator and I would highly recommend her."
