Mud & Steel Story

John and Stephanne Martin met in 1997 and formed Anderson-Martin Gallery & Studios in 1998 in The Heights, Houston: but shortened to Martin Galleries~

​

Stephanne: Welcome! where my passion for ceramics comes to life. From my very first pieces made in high school to a lifelong gift that I have pursued for decades, my love for ceramics has only grown stronger. After obtaining my BFA in Commercial Art from Texas State University, I discovered the true calling of my life - pottery.

​

John: As a self-taught metal artist, I combine the skills I learned from my father with my education in Drafting and Mechanical Engineering to create unique and inspiring pieces of art. It all started with dabbling in metal art while working in industrial supply houses and machine shops during school and has evolved into a passion for creating custom pieces for clients. I pride myself on attention to detail and exceeding expectations, all while staying true to my roots in the oilpatch.
