Meet Marta Harvey: Originally from Portugal but now living in the Boston area, Marta loves to draw and design patterns. She creates hand-carved blocks that she then uses as a starting point for her art. Each hand-carved block creates a unique pattern, ranging from simple iron-work inspired patterns to complex tessellations varying from flowers and leaves to whimsical animals. Marta says: “I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoy creating it.” Some things we discuss on this episode: * what makes someone an incredible teacher* art as a business* MC Escher, and in particular, this print: Also, Marta sent me this information after the podcast: “My first tessellation (the one that took days): I learned stamp carving around 2006/2007 in one of the Yahoo groups I was mentioning; we were working together through Gloria Page’s book “Art Stamping Workshop”. This is the next tessellation, created while going through your book (Carve Stamp Play): This is what I meant by having to create 2 stamps as one of the shapes is the inverse of the other. I think I used this online tool to get the tessellation shape. And here are some of the ATCs where I experimented with lots of different techniques – just so you have an idea of what I was talking about. Fun to see some of the carved stamps – the flowers on the top left and right, and one of the first continuous patterns I created on the bottom right.” Find Marta Online: * Instagram: @martaharveyart * Website: martaharveyart.com Our Recommendations from this episode: * Julie:
