Marta Shore is an award-winning crop artist and educator. She started making crop art in 2015 as a way to force people to read her puns. Each year, she challenged herself to learn more techniques. As a result, she has competed in 7 different crop art categories and ribboned in 6 of them. As an educator, she has been praised for her ability to explain complicated concepts in clear language and provide guidance so others can successfully apply those concepts to their work. Since becoming the Assistant Superintendent for Crop Art and Scarecrow at the Minnesota State Fair this year, she has decided to no longer compete and instead teach others how to express themselves through crop art.
