- Hobbies
Mom and I had the great pleasure of chatting with Marta Harvey. Marta has participated in #CarveDecember for many years and her tessellations have gotten more and more impressive every single year. On the podcast we discuss the tessellation lesson she has put together for the upcoming #CarveDecemberClass as well as her journey as an artist (hint: she had to raise her family before she could really get started).
Meet Marta Harvey:
Originally from Portugal but now living in the Boston area, Marta loves to draw and design patterns.
She creates hand-carved blocks that she then uses as a starting point for her art.
Each hand-carved block creates a unique pattern, ranging from simple iron-work inspired patterns to complex tessellations varying from flowers and leaves to whimsical animals.
Marta says: “I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoy creating it.”
Some things we discuss on this episode:
* what makes someone an incredible teacher* art as a business* MC Escher, and in particular, this print:
Also, Marta sent me this information after the podcast:
“My first tessellation (the one that took days):
