She received several scholarships and took part in several sculptor symposia. From 1991 to 2014 she was a lecturer at the European Art Academy in Trier .

plant
Martine Andernach supplemented her studies at the Art Academy in Cologne with intensive self-study of works by modern artists in Paris museums. She names artists such as Ossip Zadkine , Amedeo Modigliani and Julio Gonzales as formative, but also points to Egyptian and African art, which she still influences today.
In her artistic work, Martine Andernachs takes the subject of figure geometrically and prefers to use cubic shapes. Their heads, standing, sitting, torsos and other forms are less constructivist , but are based on an analysis of the human figure. Her sculptures are reinventions based on nature. In doing so, she usually focuses on a few, clear basic forms, which she puts together and sets in motion with asymmetries and increasingly informal elements. The material properties always play an important role. She prefers to work in stone, but also in steel, Corten steel and bronze. Her works also include woodcuts that continue the two-dimensional form of the sculptures, and reduced material collages in which textures and shapes interact with tension, as in the stone sculptures.
