I live quite near my brother who is often to be found diving in the waters off of Cape Cod
His passion is to explore the local wrecks and catalogue the colourful fish
I am an artist like my father before me
His name was Graham Rich
My name is Martha Rich
I was named after the island of my birth
My brother does not have a name
He does not care for names
Unlike my father I am an abstract artist
Who works on large canvases
I often paint the journeys of the colourful fish
As they swim shoal between the islands
My favourite fish are the rouge fish whose considerable numbers
Give the sea a strange glow especially in the winter months
