About

Join me in celebrating art that inspires and uplifts. I invite you to explore, create, and share creativity with me at Anna Martin Art.

I am a half-Spanish, half-Irish contemporary artist, born and raised in London. My artistic journey began at Chelsea School of Art and continued with a BA in Communication Design at Parsons School of Design, New York. I have worked internationally in publishing, advertising, and design, before returning to my first passion—art.

For over 20 years, I have led painting holidays and workshops in the UK, Spain, Greece, Turkey, and the US, collaborating with a variety of special-interest holiday providers. My experience spans acrylic, watercolour, and oils, and I have designed programmes that cater to all levels—from complete beginners to experienced artists.

Alongside my artistic practice, I am a trained performance coach and facilitator, bringing skills in communication, creativity, and group dynamics. This enables me to create immersive, supportive, and inspiring experiences for participants, helping them develop their skills while enjoying the culture and beauty of each location.

I speak Spanish fluently and have working knowledge of Italian and French, allowing me to connect easily with international guests.

I am seeking partnerships with venues and travel providers where I can bring my expertise as a guest artist and retreat leader, delivering enriching creative experiences while the host organisation manages bookings, logistics, and accommodation.

Previous destinations include tranquil coastlines, cultural hubs, and scenic countryside locations across Europe. I pride myself on creating an atmosphere that fosters creativity, relaxation, and memorable experiences for participants.

For those interested in my work and style, my seasonal collections of paintings and prints reflect my love of colour, light, and movement
