Martha Rea Baker started the New Year with intensive and productive studio time at the Hill Country Arts Foundation in Ingram, TX. This annual ten-day painting retreat is an opportunity to become immersed in the painting process with no distractions, thus resulting in fresh spontaneous work. Working on large-scale canvases with acrylic paint, Martha created paintings for both of her galleries, KARAN RUHLEN GALLERY in SANTA FE, NM and BROWN’S  FINE  ART  in  JACKSON,  MS.

This year, the Hill Country Arts Foundation honored the artists with an exhibit of work painted during the retreat.
