About
A studio gallery.
Oranje is a working studio and gallery space founded in 2013 by ML Martin in Denver, CO. Currently based in Nashville, Tennessee – she works on private and public projects in a wide range of scale.
ML’s creative drive is nurtured by a common curiosity in the exploration of process-a balance of rational discipline and intuitive freedom.
ML is originally from Knoxville, TN. She began her studies in History of Art and Architecture at Miami University, Ohio and earned a BFA and a BAS in Art History at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She recently moved back to the Southeastern U.S.

“My parents enrolled me in an after school art class around the age of six. While I can not remember a time that I was not fascinated by the medium of paint or inspired to draw, this experience solidified a fixation. My passion for the act of painting spawns largely from a desire to engage a sense of connection through the reasoning that these unfoldings are the most authentic offerings of self. The process of layering and removing mediums on a surface is a recording of my movements, thoughts, and perspective within time and space. It is both a preservation of memory and an open dialogue.”
