Her paintings offer up hope for the observer as well as raise questions of deep concern. "Will Earth survive us?" she askesA native Californian, Somers received a BFA at the University of Hawaii. She returned to California and worked as a graphic designer at Stanford University and was a principle at Artefact Design in Palo Alto. But it was her painting that ultimately brought a sense of purpose to her life. In 2001 she embarked on a full-time painting career and, shortly after, opened Studio Believe in San Carlos.In 2007 Marti and her ister, Robin Somers, co-founded Somersault Studios, a non-profit publishing venture to benefit the arts of Northern California.
