Dennis James Martin (b. Kansas City, Missouri, April 13, 1956-d. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, April 19, 2001)

A specialist in metal-point drawing, Dennis Martin kept alive a tradition that is one of the oldest drawing techniques, dating back to the Italian Renaissance and to artists Michelangelo and da Vinci.  His goal is to create timeless pieces that viewers will enjoy.

Most of his drawings are figurative and are done in pure platinum and gold. He used a thin rod to draw with a slow, tedious, and exacting method which involves a lot of time spent preparing the surface to receive the marks.  A single work could take up to six months to complete.
