Martin makes learning fun and relaxed and instills enthusiasm for art in her students. Her caring nature, willingness to make time for each student and ability to make everyone feel special are attributes noted by her students.
Martin’s work is consistently displayed in the Gallery Iolani—"a priceless gift to the college, the artists and the community," a colleague writes.
