Martha Mayer Erlebacher

Art Appreciation

American contemporary realist painter, Martha Mayer Erlebacher is highly regarded and recognized for her classical techniques with modernism in her figurative and still-life paintings.

Many of her figurative paintings are metaphorical, such as the series titled The Cycle of Life, where she expresses the various stages of life to the four elements (air, fire, earth, and water).

You can see more of her wonderful work HERE.
