Artist Bio

Martha Rehkamp is a talented Minneapolis-based ceramic artist whose clay sculptures beautifully capture the complete journey of life through the metaphor of a changing garden. Her decision to work in clay was preceded by a lifetime of working in and around the arts, earning a BFA from the College of St. Benedict and a BS in Art Education from the University of Minnesota. Marty began working in clay in 2012 at the Northern Clay Center and has continued her journey as part of the 2022 MN NICE cohort. Looking at life through the lens of her garden, she celebrates all stages and cycles of life—from early bloom to the beauty inherent in fading garden forms.
