Exhibition: FACES by Martha Talburt

"A Face is a Poem the Soul Writes"

April 18 – May 10, 2026
Visitor Center
Free

This spring, view a selection of artist Martha Talburt's beautiful watercolor portraits in KTM&HC's Visitor Center. 

From the artist: "'A face is a poem the soul writes' says it all for me. I wrote the line years ago, while pursuing my passion for art and poetry. I’ve made portraits in most mediums. Recently, I’ve discovered watercolor as a perfect vehicle for portraiture. Its sparkling colors, the quick and fluid brush strokes as well as the marvelous translucence when you layer colors all create a visual verse that conveys the persona of the individual—a poem indeed."

Martha Talburt lives in Ridgefield and has been teaching drawing and portrait classes at Founders Hall for more than fifteen years, plus at many other adult education venues in Fairfield County. She began her teaching career in the Peace Coprs, after having raised six children in Wyckoff, New Jersey, during which time she also studied at the Art Students League. Besides art, poetry has been a life-long pursuit, and she has published two books, Acorn On My Shoulder and A Bridge Not a Wall. Widely traveled, Talburt has carried a sketchbook and poetry journal with her the world over, a fact reflected in A Bridge Not a Wall, her recent memoir.
