About Marta Wiley:
Growing up in Cayocan, Mexico, Marta Wiley was surrounded by artistic and creative influences. Not only was her grandmother an accomplished artist, the Mexican government referred to her as a “National Treasure” as well. Surrounded by the same natural and cultural beauty that inspired Diego Rivera and Frieda Kahlo, Wiley expertly channels what she sees and feels into her art. Though her talent was nurtured by her family when she was young, Wiley’s formal training began when she studied art, music, and philosophy at Magnet Preparatory School in Miami, Florida. Later, Wiley attended Los Angeles' Otis Parson School of Design, (now Otis College of Art and Design), on a full scholarship. During the mid-to-late 1990's, Wiley's extensive travels through Europe and Mexico continued to enrich her experience as a painter. From the lush landscapes of the Scottish countryside to the museums housing the works of the Old Masters, Wiley took the many lessons and insights she gleaned to heart, developing her "love of the line" and the "way of the eye". A deep love of the artistry and spiritualism of India and Nepal has also influenced her work. Wiley has shown her work at over 300 galleries as well as museums and trade shows, and her paintings can be seen globally in top movies "Mission Impossible", "Along Came Polly", and others. One-woman shows are held yearly in Mexico, Canada, Japan and New York, and she has been commissioned by collectors around the wold - private, public and corporate. Currently, Wiley owns her own publishing company, Marta G. Wiley Studios, where she is able to produce and distribute original artwork, music, books, installation pieces, apparel, and other products.

A bid being placed on an auction item is an agreement to the auction terms and conditions as explained below. Pristine Auction is a JCK Enterprises L.L.C. company.
Bidder Registration: All bidder's must be 18 years of age or older to participate in the auction. Pristine auction reserves the right to suspend a registered user and/or cancel the bid of a registered user for any reason.
Bidding: Minimum bid increment is 5% of the current high bid. Bids are accepted 24 hours a day directly through our website (www.pristineauction.com). Our site will automatically generate and send an e-mail when a bidder is outbid on an auction. This is provided as a courtesy service to our bidders and is a non-guarantee service. Although rare, it is possible for our site to encounter interruptions in service or malfunctions. We reserve the right to suspend, cancel, or extend auctions that have been affected by such an occurrence. At the end of each auction, winning bidders will be notified as soon as possible via e-mail. In order to ensure delivery of all of our e-mails, please add sales@pristineauction.com to your address book.
Extended Bidding: Our auction timer corresponds with Eastern Standard Time. All auctions are set up with a 10 minute extended bidding period. The extended bidding period is initiated once an auction countdown is below 10 minutes. During the extended bidding period, all new bids reset the auction countdown to 10 minutes. An auction ends when no new bids are entered for a full 10 minutes. Each auction is on an independent timer so auctions will end at different times.
Returns: All items are shown and described to the best of our ability. Please ask any necessary questions before placing a bid. Items authenticated by an industry recognized third party authenticator may not be returned. Items accompanied by a Pristine Auction LOA can be returned for authenticity purposes if they have been reviewed and rejected by an acceptable authenticator. Acceptable authenticators are as follows: PSA/DNA, JSA, Global Authentics, or PAAS. All auction sales are final except in very limited circumstances (as described above or if a lot is grossly misrepresented). If winning bidder believes a lot was misrepresented he/she must contact us within 7 days of receipt of the lot with written explanation of the alleged gross error. If it is deemed that a gross error has occurred, it is the Buyer's responsibility to return the lot in question within seven (7) days of notice or evaluation.
Reserve: We reserve the right to place a reserve on auctions. Reserves are determined before the start of an auction. If bidding does not meet or exceed the predetermined reserve price, the lot will be returned to the consignor or relisted into a future auction.
Auction Cancellation: We reserve the right to cancel an auction at any time for any reason.
Disputes: If any disputes arise, legal action will go before the AAA (American Arbitration Association) and will take place in Arizona. By bidding on the auction (and thus agreeing to our auction policies) the right to trial by jury in any and all legal disputes is forfeited.
