The work of Shantell Martin is a meditation of lines — a language of characters, creatures, and messages that invites her viewers to share in her creative process. Part autobiographical and part dreamlike whimsy, Martin has created her own world that bridges fine art, performance art, technology and the everyday experience: conversations, objects, and places.

In 2019, the New York City Ballet invited Shantell Martin to create a large scale art installation at the Lincoln Center in collaboration for the company’s annual Art Series.

Shantell Martin lives and works in New York, New York.
