Marty Cain holds master's and master's of fine arts degrees from the University of Iowa. She was an active member of the Boston arts community for twenty-one years, exhibited her work in numerous galleries, created environmental sculptures in state parks and other public spaces, was a founding member of the Boston Sculptors at Chapel Gallery, and helped create the Reclamation Arts Group in Boston. Marty taught art in leading art institutions, including the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and at Tufts University. She has served on boards of cultural organizations including: The Boston Visual Artists Union, The Massachusetts Cultural Alliance, The Cambridge Arts Council, and One Percent Commission, The Institute of Contemporary Art and The New Art Center of Newton.

All the environmental sculptures she co-creates with Nature are made to nourish the body, stimulate the mind and lighten the heart. Depending on desire and available space, they can be quiet, intimate, meditative areas or larger, more playful designs that invite shared participation. Each of these Earth-attuned places empowers both the individual and the Earth every time they are used.

Each site gives a sense of spiritual fulfillment and well being, expands consciousness and auric fields, allows communion with Nature Spirits and the Angelic realm, brings joy and playfulness to life.

Having returned to her childhood home in New Hampshire, her current artistic work focuses on creative placemaking, the integration of art and geomancy. She is most interested in the potential of site-specific art to invoke wide public participation in an attitude of Earth healing. In addition, Cain has many art works including; drawings, photo-drawings paintings and small indoor sculptures. She provides critiques and Mentoring for Masters of Fine Art Students through Vermont College of Norwich University and is available for private consultation as well. Having learned the opening harmony of dowsing earth energies, she teaches that skill in her mentoring of art students, which when practiced, can keep an artist in touch with that part of the Self which generates creative ideas.
