Artist Bio
Dovey Martinez is a Honduran- American visual artist and educator. Her work is situated at the crossroads of contemporary figure painting and graphic art. Her art is painted stylistically in a paint by number style, with natural earth tones combined in solid fields of color. Gold over-layer painting is a constant theme over the face of the subject matter. Dovey graduated with a studio art degree from Connecticut College. Upon graduating, Dovey has taught youth classes for Gage Academy of Fine Arts Seattle, Urban Artworks, and Pratt Fine Arts Studio. Dovey began to create artwork as a teenager, observing her older brother create graffiti letters in his black book, she decided to try her hand at drawing. In college, art class lit her up like nothing else! She wants to share this gift with other young people and hope it provides an outlet to discovery through representation and inspiration.
