For artists ready to make work that's unmistakably theirs.
Hi, I'm Martina Glastonbury. I work with artists at all levels — in painting, drawing, and the mindset that sits beneath the making.
Whether you're just beginning or have been making artwork for years, you're welcome here.
The work we do together is about clarity — what you're drawn to, what you resist, what keeps returning, and what gives your work a sense of belonging. It's also something you can return to again and again, as a steady companion in the studio.
From there, we work on direction and decision-making: how to recognise what your work is asking for, how to stay with it, and how individual pieces begin to relate to one another over time.
The aim is never to impose a style. It's to help you find your own style — and make work you can stand behind.
All of this happens inside a membership community: a place to learn, make work, and find your footing alongside other artists asking the same questions.
So, who is Martina?
I'm a Swedish artist who has lived in the UK since 2000. I had my first solo exhibition in Stockholm at eighteen, and later studied at Gerlesborgsskolan, one of Sweden's most respected art schools.
Back then, life felt chaotic and uncertain. I struggled with depression, turned down a place at one of London's leading art universities, and found myself in Wales instead, where I spent ten years painting, reflecting, and slowly finding my way back.
Eventually, I settled on Dartmoor in Devon with my husband and stepchild, and something in me settled too.
Over the years, I've painted more than 500 artworks and shown them in many places. But I've never painted for success. Painting, for me, has always been about expression — about staying honest with what's inside. It became my purpose in life.
I come from a family of teachers, and for a long time, I resisted it. It's only in recent years that I've come to understand why it matters to me: guiding other artists to find their own voice has become one of the most meaningful parts of my creative life.
"You reflect me back to myself in a way that feels both tender and true."
Martina, you reflect me back to myself in a way that feels both tender and true. Saying ‘I want my voice back’ even surprised me, but in your space, it felt safe to admit. Thank you for holding that moment with such care. I feel ready now to reclaim the joy of creating—not for productivity, but for presence. I’m so grateful to be on this journey with you.

"I stopped listening to my chatterbox and deepened the connection with my intuition."
I had the incredible opportunity to be coached by Martina. I stopped listening to my chatterbox. Instead, I deepened the connection with my intuition and the thoughts from the source within me. Thank you, Martina, for your guidance, patience and unwavering support.
