ABOUT MARTIE MCNABB

I’m a personal historian/visual artist who creates visual narratives from client’s photo, document & memorabilia archives. I’m also an interactive story-sharing heartist who helps people create connections by holding space for them to share the stories about the things they keep. What photo or object do you hold dear?

And if you’re an artist, creative or service pro looking for a way to market yourself that not only feels good but does good? Let’s meet so I can find out more about you & you work and you can learn more about my community of story-share holders and how you can use Show & Tales to market your important products and/or services.

Click HERE to make a time to talk. I look forward to hearing from you.


More about me if you want to know:

Perhaps it’s from being born into a military family based in Okinawa, Japan and moving nine times before I was 16 that in my early years, I retreated inwards and bonded deeply with animals, art, and creativity.

Or maybe it’s because I wasn’t able to hold on to much ‘stuff,’ personal possessions except for a few pieces of distant family memorabilia, that I grew up to be a personal historian, visual storyteller, and on a mission to help people connect to their history, family, friends, and community.

Whatever the reason, I value close relationships, collaborations, and community above all else and understand how powerful story-sharing is to building human connections and to the human experience as a whole?. P.S. I’m not a fan of small talk

Helping people connect has been part of my life’s mission since the beginning.

As a sign language interpreter, I helped people communicate with one another. As a NYC public school teacher, I supported students to connect with their own knowledge and helped them gain confidence to learn. Now I help people connect with others through the stories behind their photos & other things.

When I’m not working on my businesses, you’ll find me walking in nature, visiting with family and friends, enjoying time spent with animals and dancing a variety of styles—especially queer country western—at the Big Apple Ranch (when I can get there again).
