Martha Gómez-Silva (AKA “Marty”) is a professional hotel administrator from Peru. She started taking online painting workshops in 2020 during the pandemic lockdown. Since then, she has built a significant following of like-minded emergent artists on social media.

Marty has over sixty-four thousand followers on her Instagram account! Her posts are bright and engaging, and you can almost smell the flowers in her watercolor florals, like this bouquet of Peonies!

The caption on this Instagram post reads:

“What is your favorite technique?
Mine is wet on wet! The difference in the petals is unique!

Why make it simple if we can complicate it, right?
And if we talk about colors, there are many more pinks than you can imagine.

My favorite Daniel Smith mixes are:

Carmine with Lavender
Carmine + Perylene Green
Carmine + Hansa Yellow
Rose of Ultramarine
Wisteria
Moonglow”

This year Marty has participated in many demonstrations and traveled to Italy, Spain, Argentina, and Mexico, as well as Yaku and Cusco in her home country of Peru. She has been a wonderful addition to the Daniel Smith Brand Ambassador family and we’re excited to see what she will do next!
