In 1981, Martin joined an artist group called the Flawvists. This group presented multi-media events in non-traditional art spaces across the Midwest. The last Flawvist show was in 1983 at the Mitchell Field Airport.

From 1982 through 1985, Martin was a member of Art In Milwaukee. This artist-run cooperative was affiliated with a group in New York City. Both groups’ focus was on exhibiting art in non-traditional spaces. In New York, this meant anything from parking structure windows to a junk yard. In Milwaukee, they exhibited in hotel lobbies, veteran halls andother public spaces. During that time, Martin experimented with installations, most of which appeared in New York. In Milwaukee, he focused on photographic works – including several darkroom experiments with montage. In 1985, he curated the last New York show for this group.

In 1988, former members of the Flawvists and Art In Milwaukee created a show called The Museum of Sexuality. It first appeared in an abandoned building that had once been the site of a gay bath-house. Martin showed black and white photographs that were covered with colored crayons and glitter. This show later toured with Theatre X, an experimental theater group, making a final appearance in San Francisco.

Martin’s first two-person show was in 1984. He showed large color tableaux of people moving in their environment. These were story-telling pictures, but the viewer was left to make up the story. Another two-person show was held in 1990 in which Martin showed large gum dichromate images of nudes. (Gum dichromate printing is a late 19th century printing process.) These very colorful explorations received positive reviews in the local press. The Metropolitan Gallery represented his work for the next three years.

He moved to Chicago in 1992, losing both his studio and darkroom in the process. As a solution, high-end Macintosh computers became Martin's darkroom and the world became his studio. This foray into digital imaging allowed him to refine the montage experiments he had started earlier. These early color dye-sublimation prints were shown in galleries throughout Chicago. His first one person show was in Chicago in 1995.

krohnePhoto.com, his first web site, went online in 1996. Martin began creating digital art that appeared only on the web site. During this time he experimented with digitally manipulating photography and creating narratives to go with these images.

In 1998, Martin moved to Atlanta, and soon joined the Atlanta Photography Group, where he began showing photographs through the group’s gallery. He is now on their Board of Directors.

He's been showing some work in Atlanta, but focused mainly on growing the Atlanta Photography Group. Martin was represented by 2000AD until they closed their doors in late 2005.

New work includes a series of nudes developed for 2000AD, a series of abstract images exploring color and texture in everyday objects, and an ongoing series of people stories based on street and studio photography.

Due to concerns about the environment, Martin no longer works with older printing processes such as gum dichromate printing. He maintains web pages with information about this process for those who wish to pursue it.

Martin works almost exclusively with digital imaging, but maintains a darkroom for occasional filmwork. He's been using Photoshop as his primary darkroom since 1992 and bought his first digital camera in 1998.
