Like the impressionists, whose work she admires, Martha Bator celebrates the images of every day life and reminds us of the beauty that surrounds us. A visual diary of sorts, Martha Bator's paintings provide a glimpse into her life's journeys. Her travels have included the Middle East, Europe, Brittany, Cornwall, and locations along the Atlantic coast. The scenery and subjects in her pastel paintings have the wonderful ability to stir in the viewer memories of his own travels or to take him places he has not been.

Martha Bator helped found the Southeastern Pastel Society, which includes members from all over the country, and has been the Vice President ever since. She is also a signature member of the Pastel Society of America and Knickerbocker Artists of USA. She has conducted workshops, exhibited across the country, and had her work published in several publications. Her work has also brought her national honors and recognition by the secretary of state for "Achievement by Georgia Women in the Visual Arts".
