Intro

For just over a decade I worked full-time as a professional makeup artist and skincare specialist and I spent my evenings and weekends working as a performance artist upon completing my degree in Art & Writing in 2011. Most notably during that time I worked for No. 7 and Murad whilst also creating Horse Woman which was a series of walks following the bridleways of Britain.

I was an extremely active individual and my work reflected that, I had always written as part of my arts practice and enjoyed posting my poems onto blogs. However, it all changed in 2017 when I was assaulted and the results of the injuries left me with severe mobility problems.

This significant life event has dramatically changed how I am able to work and instead of taking on grand active projects, I have found myself writing daily and with this blog I will share this daily journey with my readers.

I hope that you enjoy what you read and see and please feel free to comment and message me.

Thank you,

Martina

It discusses romance, life and sex and although it is not suitable for children the text contains humour, beauty, sadness as well as anger. These works have all been used in art performances and installations over the past few years and their words have resonated with many an audience. I hope you all enjoy reading them.
