Martha Heller

Martha Heller is a textile artist working at her home studio/gallery in Newton MA. Her art practice includes mixed media art quilts, textile sculptures, wall hangings, and framed paper collage. Her most recent work includes a deep exploration of botanical dye processes using the plants and flowers in her garden. Aware of the vast environmental pollution associated with the textile industry, she uses only vintage and recovered fabric and natural dye processes. Martha has exhibited in galleries and museums including The New England Quilt Museum in Lowell MA, The Attleboro Arts Museum in Attleboro MA, Brickbottom Gallery in Somerville MA, honeyjones Gallery, The Kathryn Schultz Gallery, and Gallery 263 in Cambridge MA, Gallery Twist and Lexington Arts and Crafts Society in Lexington MA, The Appalachian Center for Craft in Smithville TN, and The Allegheny Arts Council in Cumberland MD.
