Emerging from the raw wool! The real process is a little less magical and a lot more labor-intensive ;)

Mt. Marten: A Place to Find Unique Needle-Felted Creations
I have been a visual artist for many years, currently working as a freelance animator and illustrator. My work is inspired by the natural world and all of the creatures found in it, both familiar and strange. I feel like I always need to have some sort of very tangible, textural, "hand-made" quality to my work, even if it is created digitally. Really, I like creating things in many ways, but for the longest time there was no 3-dimensional medium that completely appealed to me.
Then, in 2013, I discovered a whole new creative outlet: needle felting. As soon as I saw the creations one could make through this medium, I knew it was for me. I love the minimalism of materials involved and how it is directly connected to nature. It speaks to the same aesthetic sensibilities I hold with my 2-dimensional art, and ultimately my goal in creating needle felted work is the same - I want to make things that delight, spark people's imagination, and even create whole new worlds to explore.
When people buy art and decor, I believe it should be a thoughtful purchase for a good product that is not to be thought of as disposable. I aim to create quality needle-felted sculptures and decorations that people can really treasure for a long time to come.
My wool and materials are all sourced from other small businesses who are based in the U.S. If you would like more information about them, please check out their sites:

I have always loved creating art of all kinds - though my main career is in animation and illustration, once I discovered needle felting I was hooked! My aim with Mt. Marten is to create felted sculptures that can be treasured by anyone.
