Born in Walloon Brabant, Martha Grünenwaldt spent her childhood playing the violin alongside her father, a travelling musician, and received very little formal schooling. At the age of twenty-three, she married a musician and worked in a factory until the birth of her daughter. After four years of marriage, she left the family home with her child and lived a wandering life, playing the violin on café terraces. In her old age, her daughter invited her to come and live with her. It was only at the age of seventy-one that she began to draw.
