Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Chicana painter Marta Sanchez has been inspired by traditional Mexican folkloric art expressions and contemporary issues. Her works on paper are mostly linocuts and monotypes, which follow the social and cultural traditions of Mexican and Chicano/a Art. Her paintings are mainly on tin or aluminum. The materials, scale, and issues connect to present day concerns.Her work is in the collections of private individuals, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, El Museo del Barrio NY, The State Museum of Pennsylvania, The Woodmere Art Museum, The McNay Art Museum, The Fine Art Museum of St. Petersburg, Florida, The National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, the University of Texas at Austin and various university throughout the country. Marta’s work is part of actor/director Cheech Marin’s extensive private collection of Chicano art, which is now housed at “The Cheech” Riverside Museum, Riverside CA.
Marta earned an MFA in painting from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University, and a BFA in painting from the University of Texas at Austin. She taught at the Philadelphia Museum of Art for over seventeen years. She teaches at St. Joseph University and the Woodmere Art Museum, is on the board for The Print Center and works as Special Events Coordinator for the Brandywine Workshop and Archive in Philadelphia. She is co-founder of the grassroots organization “Cascarones Por La Vida,” which assists families affected by HIV/AIDS. Her work is currently archived at the Benson Latin American Collection at the University of Texas at Austin.
