Marty Maehr

Hailing from the heart of the American Midwest, Maehr was inspired in childhood by a year living in Tehran, Iran.  The experience helped to develop within him a notion, expressed in his art, of the commonality of human experience.  What results is an energy in his images that is invigorating, giving rise to an internal tension that, in the end, is transformed into something quite stunning.  His artwork demonstrates the beauty that is inherent when fragmentation is transcended, giving way to something more universal.
