Bio: Marta Thoma Hall is an American painter and sculptor based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Kauai, HI. As an artist she is known for her unique juxtaposition of imagery with a surreal bent. She has permanent public art installations of steel, glass, and cast bronze in Goodyear, AZ, Walnut Creek, Palo Alto, South San Francisco, San Jose, St. Petersburg Florida, and sculpture in the collection of The Art and Design Museum of Costa Rica. Thoma Hall studied fine arts at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University. In 2022 she founded Hall Art + Technology Foundation (HATF), an educational arts foundation focused on the intersection of art and science in the modern world.

Statement: In exploring a world of what is primarily mysterious and unseen, surrealist imagery exists to render dreams, visions, and imaginings of the past, present, and future. Ghosts, the wind, water, polarities, sexuality, caretaking, absurdities, and time are my subjects. My body is a vessel, my moments spent watching, listening, moving, holding, loving, grieving, learning. Always, time is sprinting as I try to hold on to a moment to share.
