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.
‘Art became my way of self-expression and acceptance when traditional education paths weren’t suitable for me. It allowed me to communicate my feelings and identity struggles when words fell short. It still helps me communicate and it’s interesting to look back at my paintings to see how I was feeling at the time.’
