MARTHA COWDERY

Martha has been drawing and designing since she was little. She liked finding sea glass sometimes, but especially when she moved to Maine and found unique shapes and colors on the rocks at low tide near her house.

About seven years ago, she found a bathroom door, for future use, which had a window space. She started practicing various designs in sea glass for it, and her Tidal Tales took off from there. 

Since then, she has developed a special way to clean the glass, shells, and rocks, and found the best epoxy glue for interesting (and permanent) effects. Often, each frame (which is sometimes altered for a certain look) will inspire a creation - - whimsy included.
