Description

Recognizing the hidden beauty of the decaying architecture of Bunker Hill, Kay Martin noted that “the houses have developed personalities from a combination of wood lace, a pot of geraniums at an open window, people who come out of the houses and the colors of the stained glass windows.” For over a year, the artist made an effort to archive the noteworthy area. Soon known as the “Vagabond of Bunker Hill,” Martin consistently visited the neighborhood, using her station wagon as her studio. She entitled most of her works merely by the street addresses of the structures she painted or drew.
