Martin-Nuss is a New York-based artist working across painting, drawing, performance, and sound. Drawing inspiration from biological systems, post- humanist philosophy, and ecology, she explores enactments of transformation and interconnectivity in her practice.
Meditating on the ways that temporality, memory, and embodied perception reshape our relationship to space, her symphonic canvases merge painting and drawing to evoke fluidity and change in the atmosphere and the seasons. Layered and gestural, Martin-Nuss’s works respond dynamically to different conditions of light, creating a sense of constant motion and inviting viewers to engage with them from various vantage points.
Martin-Nuss received her MFA in Painting and Drawing from Pratt Institute in 2024 and her BA in Fine Art and English Literature from Austin College in 2014. She studied visual arts at the Collège International de Cannes in France, and performance, sound, and video art at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has trained with the Meredith Monk Ensemble and works extensively with the voice as a compositional and performative tool.
Martin-Nuss’ works have been exhibited at Pace Los Angeles, Rachel Uffner Gallery, Prince & Wooster and the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi. Martin-Nuss’s work is held in numerous collections, including the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection and The Art Museum of South Texas. Her work has been featured in Artnet, Two Coats of Paint, Cultbytes, Art Spiel, and New American Paintings.
