For more than 60 years, Martha N. Hayden has been working in and out of her studio in Sharon, Wisconsin. She produces art in many mediums, including oil, acrylic, water color, gouache, lithography, fabric, ceramics and enameling. She has brought joy to thousands of people who have purchased her work, and hundreds of people who have participated in her art classes and workshops. Over the years, she has also maintained studios in New York City in Astoria (1995 - 2001) and on the Lower East Side (2001 - 2017) and she has participated in numerous Artist Residencies.
Martha N. Hayden grew up in Evanston, IL and attended Evanston High School which she graduated from in 1955. She attended Bradley College for 2 years majoring in the Ceramic Arts before transferring to the Art Institute of Chicago where she majored int he Fine Arts and received her BFA degree in 1961. At the Art Institute, she studied with Paul Wieghardt and Isabol MacKinnon. While attending the Art Institute of Chicago, she also attended the University of Chicago-Downtown Campus (1955-1961) where she took academic courses. Following graduation from the Art Institute of Chicago, she used a fellowship to study at chule des Sehens in Salzburg, Austria,with Oskar Kokoschka in 1962. AskArt.com - Martha Nessler Hayden[1] She continued to travel and paint in Europe immedeately following her studies with Kokoschka. She has traveled to Mexico to paint on multiple occasions. During these trips, she has spent time in Santo Miguel Allende, the Yucatan peninsula and Bella Vista located in the mountains near Morelia[2] And she has participated in Art Residencies throughout the US and Europe during the 1990s and 2000s.
Early Career
During the 1960s and 1970s, Martha Hayden was a regular exhibitor at The Art Institute of Chicago where her works were part of the Art Rental program there. The was also a regular participant in the Chicago and Milwaukee Art Scenes. Her works could be found in the following galleries: and during the summers she could be found at the Chicago Area Art Fairs including: Old Town, Gold Coast, Glenview, Orchard Park, and Evanston; and the Milwaukee fairs including the Lake Front Festival. Her works in oil and acrylic were often large and stood out at these fairs because of their size and because of their use of color and composition.
A memorable series created during this period is the "Super Fruits" These still lives featured individual pieces of fruit in ways that they are not usually viewed. Most of these works are 50 inches or more wide. All of the Super Fruit compositions were complex, but what viewers typically commented on were the amazing variety of colors that Martha found and expressed in these works.
Another memorable series created during this period is the "Paper Bag" series. This series of large extremely detailed still Lives were a deeper exploration of composition that were at the time shocking to see, because they did not have the many bright colors of the super fruits. The color palette was limited to various tans and browns. The still lives contained simple, often rustic items and usually contained at least one brown paper bag. This series is characterized by the limited color palette, the recognizable items in the composition and the high degree of realism.
Another memorable series are of Mexican landscapes. These were painted outside, on location, in rural Mexico during the winters of 1970-71 and 1972-73. These paintings stand out from other landscapes done by Martha because the Mexican sky is typically a stronger shade of blue than that seen in Wisconsin, and the vegetation was also much different. Often landscapes have a tranquil vibe. These landscapes have a vibrant energetic vibe.
