Artist Statement:
Although I am interested in
many things, I am greatly
inspired by science, nature,
books, music, skyscrapers,
artists and people. With that
said, the creative process for
my work usually begins with
one of the following
situations: a visual image
persisting over time, an idea
compelling me to act by
researching the idea, a dream,
a significant event or
defining "ah-ha" moment. All
of these situations compel me
to give them physical form and
color. Painting, for me, is a
love affair with color,
alchemy, texture and fluidity,
it’s boldness and subtleties,
it’s ability to place one in a
contemplative, sad or excited
mood, and it’s infinite uses.
With a former professional
background in critical care
nursing, scientific and
medical knowledge combined
with extensive clinical
experiences serve as a rich
pool of imagery, creativity,
and thought for my work. My
academic studies include an RN
from Muhlenberg School of
Nursing, and an MPA from
Rutgers University.

Georgia State's Newest Art Exhibit Raises AIDS/HIV Awareness
By: Roshika West
Posted: 11/13/07
"COMPASSION: LOOK, LISTEN, LEARN... all of the artists works were excellent and told stories that made viewers think...Marti Hand's illustrative paintings quickly capture the eyes of viewers because of their color, movement, and illustrative details of each painting. Hand notes that she wants to you use her artwork to bring awareness to AIDS, pharmaceuticals, and the human spirit. The painting entitled "Wounded" (acrylic on canvas) was superior featuring red blood cells and platelets healing in a wound. The detailed close up of the bright red cells and yellow platelets, in motion with the strips of green, create an invigorating visual experience while the message of the painting, healing, leaves viewers feeling comforted. The painting "Mending Hearts" has similar movement and bright colors that symbolize medication healing broken hearts featured in the outstanding painting. Perhaps the painting that provoked the most thought on AIDS awareness was "Hand's Helping the Helpers" that beautifully features green "helper cells," which prevent infection being attacked by HIV, the blue cells. When viewed, "Hand's" amazing work will surely touch the heart and stimulate the mind as well..."
