"M is for Memphis" by Martha Kelly

Just in time for the gifting season, Memphis artist and printmaker Martha Kelly has a new book out called "M is for Memphis." This book is an alphabetical look at Memphis area places in Martha's distinctive watercolor sketchbook style.

The book is now available at Burke's Book Store, novel., and other area gift stores.

Martha Kelly is also participating in the Winter Arts Holiday Artist Market, which will be held at The Shops of Saddle Creek (7509 Poplar Ave.) beginning Sunday, November 29, through Tuesday, December 24.

In addition, she will autograph the book and sell prints during the Cooper Young Night Out at Burke's Book Store (936 S. Cooper) on Thursday, December 5, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Darel Snodgrass talks with Martha Kelly about the genesis of the new book, her other books, and her ongoing exhibit Faulkner's Trees at Rowan Oak in Oxford, Mississippi.

MARTHA KELLY ART - HOME

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
