Born in Sydney in 1967 Martine Emdur worked as a receptionist after leaving school, and had her interest in art reignited after spending time on Dunk Island. After returning to Sydney, she enrolled in the National Art School, Sydney, but completed only 6 months of a 3 year diploma course. She arranged her first solo exhibition at the Bondi Pavilion in 1997. Working in oil and acrylic on linen and canvas her works depict the play of light both on water and under water. That first show was a success and was followed by over 20 solo shows. In 2018 her first solo show in a public gallery was held in the Manly Art Gallery.
