Martin Edge and Pia Robinson

This project is a collaboration between national art treasure, Martin Edge, and award-winning arts manager, Pia Robinson, Founder of The Culture Crusader. Martin and Pia are BIG dreamers and doers who want to make a difference in the world around them. Martin and Pia’s friendship began in 2008. Since then they have weaved in and out of each other’s lives, incidentally, influencing each other’s careers, growing a little bit older and a lot wiser. Through this mutual friendship, a deep sense of trust, respect and admiration has grown between them over the years.

Martin started painting in 2007. Since then he has made his mark in Australian Art by exploring his special interests through his artwork and adventure making. Some of these special interests are painting, travel, the ocean, a day out, collecting art and antiques, modes of transport (especially CityCats), buildings and cityscapes.

Martin’s artwork is held in state and national institutions. He is represented by Anthea Polson Art and Robin Gibson Gallery and is an ambassador for Autism Queensland.
