Martie was an incredibly resilient, creative, persevering person and soul who overcame odds that would have prevented most children from every reaching adulthood. In spite of all odds she pursued her art in incredibly innovative ways until the end of her life. Her spirit, her grit, her creativity and her art will never be forgotten.
