About Lucretia Torva
Lucretia Torva is an artist/painter based in Phoenix, AZ that paints in oils and acrylics as well as murals.
Torva was born in Peoria, IL and grew up in Scotland and France because her Dad worked for Caterpillar Tractor Co. This served as a great foundation for being an artist as Lucretia was able to see and experience some of the greatest art and architecture in the history of Western Art.
Torva is a realist painter, fascinated with surfaces, textures and reflections. She hopes her work inspires viewers to look at the world with greater care and amazement. Torva received her MFA from the University of Illinois in 1982.
About Anthony Martin
Anthony Martin, retired Army, was inspired to begin chainsaw carving after being hospitalized for over three years due to injuries sustained in combat. Martin needed something that provided purpose and meaning so he began to learn everything about the art of carving and founded Logs4Heroes, an organization where Martin and his carvings support veterans, first responders, law enforcement, fire/rescue and their family members.
Martin and his wife live with their three daughters in Meservey, Iowa.
