Resident hopes to share home murals
ART

Rebecca Martin, and emergency room physician of 40 years, has for the past three-and-a-half months been commissioning the artist Joseph Delligatti for her home's murals.
Ms. Martin, originally from New York, moved to Sun City West a few years ago for her partial retirement. She has four children, one of whom (her oldest) finished her Ph.D. in art history from Duke University about 10 years ago.
“My mother is a very strong person and mother,” stated son Aaron Clark, “solely raising me and one of my sisters after my father/her husband passed away in 2004, while maintaining a full-time career of 50-plus hour work weeks as an ER doctor. I like to think of my mother as a very down-to-earth Indiana Jones-type who has stories up her sleeve that would make even Clifford the Big Red Dog blush brighter red.”
Sometime around 2001, Ms. Martin challenged herself to go back to college to finish a degree in anthropology (at this point she had been a doctor for 20 years), which she did.
She hopes her neighbors in Sun City West, as well as the greater Phoenix area, will also view the art and intends to respect everyone's interests, space and privacy in her neighborhood.
She has “no intention in interfering or injecting anything negative into her community,” states Mr. Clark, and hopes to “continue to meet and welcome people who appreciate both the art and the artists that work every day to create beauty.”
