There must be something in the genes that has produced three accomplished artists in the same family.

Members of the Martin family have produced work that explores the themes and emotions of everyday life through a variety of media.

Cherilyn has been recognised as an established artist in the textile genre for many years. Her brother Francis has spent most of his working life in commercial design and computer graphics, but is now painting full time while his daughter Natalie, having graduated from the University of Brighton three years ago, has explored conceptual sculpture and mixed media installation before finding success as a painter.
