...From her award-winning magazine,

Martha Stewart

Living, to her bestselling product lines,

Martha Stewart

shares the creative principles and practical ideas that have made her America’s most trusted guide to stylish living.  Millions of consumers rely on

Martha Stewart

as their arbiter of style and taste and their guide to all aspects of everyday living - from cooking and entertaining to decorating and home renovating, and much more.

Inspiration surrounded Martha at an early age.  Raised in Nutley, New Jersey, in a family with six children, Martha developed her passion for cooking, gardening and homekeeping in her childhood home on Elm Place.  Her mother, a schoolteacher and homemaker, taught her the basics of cooking, baking, canning, and sewing; her father, a pharmaceutical salesman and avid gardener, introduced her to gardening at the age of three in the family’s small but orderly backyard garden.

While earning a bachelor’s degree in history and architectural history at Barnard College,

Martha Stewart

worked as a model to pay her tuition.  She was married in her sophomore year, and upon graduating became a stockbroker on Wall Street, where she gained her early business training.  After moving to Westport, Connecticut, in 1972 with her husband and daughter, Alexis Stewart, she developed a catering business that showcased her remarkable talent and originality.  Her unique visual presentation of food and the elegant recipes she created for her catered events were the basis for her first book, “Entertaining,” published in 1982.  One of the most beautiful and influential books ever published, “Entertaining” has become an American classic.

Martha's unique business sense and creative vision is the blueprint for

Martha Stewart

Martha Stewart

Living magazine and widely syndicated television show;

Martha Stewart

Weddings magazine, the Everyday Food magazine and the PBS television show;
