She is known for her work with textiles, landscape, and artist's books, addressing themes of inter-contentedness, sustainability, and protection of ecological diversity.[1] She currently resides in Disley, Saskatchewan.[2] Cole's high school art teacher, Helmut Becker (now professor emeritus at the University of Western Ontario) encouraged her to pursue a career in art.[3] She was an instructor in the Extension Division, Fine Arts and Humanities, University of Regina.[4] CareerMartha Cole attended the University of Washington in Seattle where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture (1970). Cole worked as the slide librarian in the University of Toronto's Fine Arts Department after she moved back to Canada in 1970. She earned a Bachelor of Education in Art from the University of Toronto with a secondary focus in Librarianship (1972). She taught art at the high school level at a metropolitan Toronto school. In 1978, Cole moved back to Saskatchewan and bought the United Church in Disley, Saskatchewan. She began to create her first fabric landscapes in 1978, inspired by the surrounding countryside.[1] Cole has worked with fabric for the majority of her career. She has focused on the incorporation of traditional crafts such as sewing, embroidery and quilting into her artistic practice.[3] Her first fabric-based exhibition was at the Rosemont Art Gallery, in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1984.[5] In the 1980s, Cole also began to create artist's books. Two work by Cole are in the collection of the Mackenzie Art Gallery: Cygnus Spiral Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy (1986) and Elemental Blue: Water (2003)[6][7] In 2002, Cole was affected by the demolition of the elevator in Disley, which she realized was connected to the self-identification of people who have grown up on farms and small towns in the province. This led to the show "The Survivors," which toured in twenty-nine galleries in rural Saskatchewan in 2005. The primary images were grain elevators which are still standing in various towns around the province.[1] It was during this time that Cole toured the province as part of the Saskatchewan Centennial celebrations, presenting her quilted works and teaching classes.[1] Exhibitions"The Survivors" Touring Exhibition, Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils.
