Hi! This is the beginning of an article I am researching on Canadian artist Emma May Martin. More information will be added in the next few months.

Emma May Martin
Emma May Martin (January 3, 1865- February 10, 1957) was a Canadian artist best known for her work in watercolor, primarily depicting landscape s and still life scenes. Martin also occasionally worked in oil and china painting.

Born on January 3, 1865 in Toronto Ontario, Martin began her training with her father, Thomas Mower Martin. Martin later studied at the Toronto Art School under Marmaduke Matthews and G. Reid, as well as at the Central School of Art and Design in London. Martin began exhibiting in 1883, and would soon become a regular contributor to major Canadian art shows, included in exhibitions by the Royal Canadian Academy, and the Ontario Society of Artists, of which she was also a member. Martin's work would be exhibited at the Columbian Expo in Chicago, 1893.

Martin never married. Alongside her artistic career she was also an instructor, teaching at the Presbyterian Ladies College in Toronto until 1910. Martin also gave private lessons in her studio.

Martin died on February 10, 1957 in Montreal, Quebec.
