Martha V. Munroe is a self-taught, natural born artist. She has lived in Asmara, Ethiopia, Hyde Park, Framingham and Townsend, Massachusetts, always doing art. Not until she moved to Townsend and had her own studio has she felt at home. When she became able to practice her art full time she felt born, not anew, but for the first time as who she really is...an artist...always.
