Short Bio
Martha Mayer Erlebacher was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1937. Trained originally in Abstract Expressionism, Erlebacher (along with her husband Walter) broke from this school in the late 60’s and quickly became recognized as one of the leading representational figurative and still-life artists in America. She regularly shows her work nationally and internationally and her work has been featured in many books and periodicals. Erlebacher’s work examines the deep metaphorical and social themes of contemporary culture through her painterly and aesthetic images. She currently works and lives in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania.

Documentary
A documentary (currently in production) on Martha Mayer Erlebacher’s still life painting technique will be available for purchase next year. In this film, Martha executes a still life painting from start to finish for the camera while explaining, in detail, her methods and procedures. This high definition tour de force documentary is a "fly on the wall" view that all other painters will love watching. It is the equivalent of a full semester course on still life painting.
