SELF PORTRAIT

Delita Martin

DATE AND PLACE OF BIRTH: Conroe, Texas, Dec. 8, 1972

FAMILY: husband Cedric Martin and son Caleb

A PERFECT DAY IS being able to sit on my front porch, drink a cup of tea and read.

MY GUILTY PLEASURE IS reality TV. I’m well-versed in the lives of the housewives.

MY FAVORITE SAYING: My grandmother used to tell me when you frown, you frown alone, but when you smile, the world smiles with you.

IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE, I’d live on an island.

I love the beach.

I DON’T TRUST PEOPLE who agressively try to get to know me. ... You know those people who are like, let’s have dinner, let’s have lunch, let’s get together, and they’re just, like, on you? I’m like, “noooo, you’re scaring me.”

I’M SUPERSTITIOUS ABOUT broken mirrors.

ONE GOAL I HAVEN’T ACHIEVED YET is an international solo exhibit.

ONE THING EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WOMEN IS it’s always their fault. I made my husband this poster that says, “My mistakes are your emergencies.”

ONE WORD TO SUM ME UP: dreamer
