ho is Patty Freeman Martin?
I am a cowgirl and artist living in Terrebonne, Oregon near Smith Rock State Park in Central Oregon. My artwork provides a fresh and unique perspective on classic American and Western themes. Come explore my world - where cowgirls float effortlessly above their horses while their cow dogs jump through circles of flame.
When I am forced to describe my work, the first word that comes to mind is fun. It is whimsical, expressive, and western and often includes subjects people now call Americana. My style is unique, contemporary, and probably most of all, colorful. One of my paintings will light up an area and bring a spot of happiness to your environment.
This website is a place to lounge around and enjoy a little taste of my style of "whimsical western expression" art. Here you can view the paintings I currently have for sale and my portfolio of past work, to give you a strong sense of my style and subject matter of my art. Several pieces in my portfolio and in the mural section were done as commissions for clients and I welcome inquires in that area.
Those of you who know me have frequently seen me at a cutting horse event and watched me pull a portfolio out of the back of our Peterbilt; within minutes I have paintings and drawings lying in the grass or spread out in the back of someone's truck. I'll be talking a mile a minute, showing my work, and simultaneously imploring dogs, horses, children or anyone with "really dirty" hands to stay back! That scenario will probably continue, but this web-site will be an alternative way for me to share what I do with more people and for those who I don't see personally several times a year.
