Maya Tamang, who goes by the artist name Miss Martha, is currently exhibiting a series of paintings in The Art of Corsage and Masking at Abbotsford Convent. Her work sheds light on the intricacies of mental health and self-image, and delves into the broader themes of female portraiture and fashion.
Tamang is instantly recognisable in her style, influenced by the golden era of the 1940s coupled with her big personality. She is an artist with lived experience and a disability activist, and her paintings aim to empower others through their depiction of authenticity and honesty.
