“Hello, my name is Martha, and I live here in Ottawa.
So I identify as a multidisciplinary artist.
I do music, and I do some dance, as well as a few other things.
And I moved here a few years ago, and I’ve been really lucky to find a lot of community, especially here in the Centretown area, and to really be embraced by a lot of wonderful artists who are working and making really cool stuff here in the city.
One of my main motivations for making art is really about community.
So even though I do have a day job, and I’m trying to balance everything with art as well, really being able to connect with people who motivate me is what keeps me going.
And I feel super, super lucky to be connected across so many different communities here in Ottawa and also across Canada.
We have so many great people here. We have the folks at Arts Court. We have Debaser. We also have Voices Dance Company, who I worked with for a while.
And I really encourage everyone to just explore the city and to find wonderful artists to connect with and to work with and check out their work.
I have a few projects of my own that are ongoing.
So if you’d like to see what I’m doing, you can find me at @zynphonicka on Instagram.
And I’d love to see what you guys are making too.
So come say hi.”
