Marta was born in Poland and moved with her family to New York City when she was 6 years old.  Her love for the Arts came from her father, who was a musician in his native country and an architectural designer/artist.  By age 10, Marta began painting landscapes and drawing realistic portraits of friends and family.  She worked hard to refine her drawing skills and entered several art contests winning multiple awards.

 

       In 1991 Marta moved to New Jersey.  While attending high school she studied Art History and was enrolled in several Art programs.  She was selected by the Art Department to paint a mural of the Morris Canal which still hangs in the school’s Media Library, along with a painting of an Eiffel Tower scene in the Language Lab.  As a Sophomore Marta worked as a newspaper comic strip illustrator and became the Art Editor for the school's Mind Carpenter magazine.  By Senior year her designs earned the magazine an award for best layout, presented by Columbia University’s Fine Arts Department. Recognizing their achievements,  the university in New York City invited Marta and the staff of the Mind Carpenter magazine to speak at a seminar hosted by the university.

 

       In 1995 Marta began her studies at the Parsons School of Design.  She graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art & Illustration in May of 1999.  By September of that year, she had relocated to sunny Florida and began working at Walt Disney World Resort, holding several positions within the Entertainment Department. 

 

       In addition to her Entertainment role at Walt Disney World, Marta has been working as a freelance Illustrator. She has designed and painted murals and scenes at client's homes and offices. Her wide range of mediums, as well as her subject matter, makes her artwork quite diverse. This includes fantasy art and character designs, as well as realistic portraits and landscapes, large scale and small. Her outstanding artwork can be found in the form of wall murals, web logos, tattoos, film credits, children's books, and CD covers.
