Toby Martin, a renowned sculptor and associate professor of art at Spelman College in Atlanta, died late last month. He was 60 years old.
A native of Jacksonville, Florida, he graduated from Morehouse College in 1976. He earned a master of fine arts degree from Georgia State University’s sculpture program where his thesis was entitled, “Form From My Spirit in a Three-Dimensional World.”
Martin joined the faculty at Spelman College in 1987. Several of Professor Martin’s works are displayed on the Spelman College campus.
Miss you Professor. You have challenged me and allowed me to develop confidently as an Artist. Warm and humble thanks….I will remember you forever 🙂 Walk good my friend
I had no idea. I remember the many times Professor Martin invited his students into his studio not just to see his work… But to make our own art.
