Percy Martin’s Mythical Connections in Art

Join the UMGC community for a survey of the works of master printmaker Percy Martin. Born in Virginia, Martin studied at the Corcoran School of Arts and launched his printmaking studio, WD Printmakers Workshop, in the basement of his home in Washington, D.C. In addition to producing prints in all the major techniques, Martin taught art and printmaking throughout his career. His works, which narrate the stories of mythical people and animals of his own creation, are in major museums and collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center, and UMGC’s Maryland Artist Collection. He has shown his works widely throughout the United States, South America, Africa, and Europe.
