About Loretta Martinez
Loretta Martinez is a renowned artist hailing from Southern Oregon, with an impressive career spanning over 35 years. She initially gained recognition for her exquisite stained glass windows and panels, which can be found adorning various locations across the Western United States. Now, Loretta has redirected her talents towards two fascinating artistic endeavors that captivate both nature enthusiasts and art lovers alike – Birdhouses for Bird Lovers.
Unique Shaped Birdhouses
Loretta’s creative vision shines through in her one-of-a-kind, unique shaped birdhouses. These birdhouses are meticulously crafted using cedar, known for its durability and natural beauty. Loretta takes great care in the construction process, ensuring each piece is sanded smooth and meticulously finished. The birdhouses feature a 1 1/4 inch hole, expertly drilled and smoothly routed. To withstand the elements, Loretta employs exterior glue and applies two coats of exterior Spar Urethane, ensuring longevity and protection.
The Thoughtful Design
Loretta’s birdhouses are not only visually appealing but also designed with the well-being of our feathered friends in mind. By omitting perches, Loretta ensures the safety of smaller birds by preventing larger predator birds from harming the nesting babies. Each birdhouse is also equipped with a clean-out feature, allowing for easy maintenance and the creation of a comfortable living space for our avian companions.
Paintings Inspired by Nature
Loretta Martinez’s artistic talent extends beyond birdhouse craftsmanship. She skillfully captures the beauty of birds, flowers, and local wildlife through detailed photographs, which then serve as references for her stunning oil paintings.

Her paintings portray the intricate details of birds and flowers, showcasing their elegance and the harmony they bring to our natural surroundings.
