Liz Martone’s work shows an appreciation for timeless crafts with a modern approach. Martone’s BFA in Illustration from Syracuse University formalized her passion for the arts and continues to influence her work today. Moving beyond two-dimensional drawing Liz started to experiment with different mediums to showcase her love of craft and color. “Over the years my pen lines started turning into my grout lines and my patterns were coming alive through stained glass shapes.” Before homesteading in Maine, Martone honed her craft of mosaic in NYC where EFM Studio was founded in 2012. Liz is unafraid to mix the urban edge of her upbringing with the rural sensibilities of Maine’s coastline, resulting in her series of glass gemstones and glass quilts. Always experimenting with styles and sizes her work is a constant dance of color and shape and light that won’t fade.
