Dear Martha,
I have been an admire of your work for quite some time. I love your pencil and charcoal sketches, particularly your drawings of women and girls.
I, along with friends and colleagues, are creating a support forum/blog for women. The blog’s goal is to provide support and foster awareness regarding a variety of women’s issues. For example we plan to address preventing child sex abuse, domestic violence, women’s mental health and wellness, pregnancy, birth, marriage, motherhood, spirituality etc. As women we are all sisters and have a stewardship to support and educate each other. I think it was Madeleine K. Albright who said ” There is a special place in hell for women who do not help other women.” We have a responsibility to each other.
We are trying to design a blog that looks inviting and unique. Every time i think of the types of images i want to put on the blog your drawings come into my mind. When i look at your drawings, of women and girls, i feel like that could be me, my sister, or my friend portrayed in an image. You have a way of creating art that allows every women to connect to the image, thus fostering unity and a collective sense of sisterhood.
Bottom line: I simply love and appreciate your work.
We are a non-profit organization, i’m a graduate student, and all of the writers are contributing for free. We don’t have a lot of money but if there was any way to use some of your images or commission additional images that would coordinate with specific topics (pregnancy, sorrow, joy, motherhood etc.) that would be incredible. I figured the worst thing you could say was no, so i had to at least ask if you were interested in collaborating on this project.
I don’t know much about advertising (i’m a social worker) but I’m sure we could advertise your art on the blog if you chose to participate.
Regardless if your interested or not, thank you for doing what you do. I’ll be a fan for life.
thank you for your time.

Hi Kimberley,
Just a quick one to say a massive sorry for not replying sooner. The last few months have been a little mad(moving house, starting a variety of new jobs, holiday, exhibitions) and I have only just got back onto this blog to update(since January!). I assume your comment was regarding a project/collaboration? If so, I hope it went well and apologies I couldn’t help at the time.
And no, no Cinderella videos.
All the best,
Martha
Hi Martha, where are you currently selling your work? We are looking to acquire 2 of your pieces. Look forward to hearing from you, Alice & Pete.
