Martha Jo Mahoney's bold, abstract paintings show her gratitude for a new lease on life. She explains how she translates all of her life's experiences, from travel to serious health illnesses, to the canvas. 

Martha’s work wins major awards, has been shown nationwide and is collected worldwide. Now in her mid-60s, she believes she's doing her best work ever. 

See how she uses her art to not only communicate with the world but to escape it at times.

Martha Jo Mahoney’s work can be seen and purchased locally at Be On Park, 152 South Park Ave. in Winter Park. Call (407) 644-1106 for more information or visit beonpark.com.
