Embodying a New Midwestern Impressionism

Dynamic, Provocative Images

My “serious artworks” always have a story telling nature, and I purposefully make the narratives/stories meanings tricky to suss out.

Expressive, Challening, Representational

The paintings, both oil and acrylics, feature both mundane and fantastical imagery; color used to express and reinforce the emotional content of the works.

Detail of a painting depicting a beautiful large oak tree. This is a detail of an oil painting of the Franklin, Indiana, courthouse looking over a field of Black-eyed Susans. This is a detail from an oil painting of a decorative wrought iron gate with a flower bed blooming behind it. Details from "Dave’s Morning Table," an artwork by Martha Vaught showing several matchbooks on a wooden table. Detail from version 1 of a handpainted linocut by Martha Lindenborg Vaught depicting a fancy looking lady on a fanciful-looking horse. A detail from WinterChristmasLand Melted by Martha Vaught showing four horses in a very wet enclosed paddock. Detail from Martha Vaught's collage and acrylic paint piece, "HotSummer It's About a Boy"

I want you to have to study the images and think about them for yourself.
My artworks are to function as puzzles, both narrative and visual.
