1) Agnes Bernice Martin, born in Saskatchewan, Canada on March 22, 1912 to December 16, 2004 (aged 92), was an American abstract painter.
2) Martin studied at Western Washington University College of Education, Bellingham, Washington, prior to receiving her B.A. (1942) from Teachers College, Columbia University.
3) It was while living in New York that she became interested in modern art and was exposed to artists such as Arshile Gorky (1904 to 1948), Adolph Gottlieb (1903 to 1974), & Joan Miro (1893 to 1983).
4) Her work is most closely associated with Taos, with some of her early work visibly inspired by the desert environment of New Mexico. She is often considered to as a minimalist.
