Hello and welcome to my site.

My name is Marta Harvey and I love to make art and create unique, fun, and interesting patterns.

About me and my art

Originally from Portugal but now living in the Boston area, I love to draw and design new patterns. My art is constructed by printing blocks I design and hand-carve myself. Each hand-carved block creates a unique design ranging from simple to complex patterns and tessellations. Inspired by nature and architecture, my work includes flowers and leaves, fun and whimsical animals, organic and abstract shapes and optical illusions.

Day 20 of #carvedecember2024 and my brain must have been somewhere else when I decided which part of the pattern to print. It made for a crazy and messy printing session. If I like it enough I may do another (proper) carving, but not today ☺️. #car
Day 19 of #carvedecember2024 is here with lots of flowers. Execution left a lot to be desired but I am going with it! #carvedecember #blockprinting #handcarvedstamp #stampsthatpattern #pattern #patterns #martaharveyart
Day 18 of #carvedecember2024 with a 2-stamp pattern. I love the wavy line pattern on this one, but since you probably cannot see it well, I highlighted it in the last picture. #carvedecember #printmaking #blockprinting #handcarvedstamp #stampsthatp
Day 17 of #carvedecember2024 with a small shell which I designed to work as a stencil. As I was printing it I thought it could also work as a little fish or a little bird. Anything else you see in this shape? #carvedecember #blockprinting #handcarv
