Welcome to RADOST™! I’m Martina Sestakova, and I’m thrilled to share my love for storytelling with you. As a textile designer, I convey stories of our lives in unique fabrics. As a teaching artist, I connect with my students over our passion for anything and everything creative. As an abstract watercolorist, I communicate life moments visually through color and shape. ​What's RADOST? My favorite word is "JOY." And RADOST is the Czech (Prague is my hometown) word for joy. 

Textile Designer

I transform original paintings and photographs into textiles that have names and come with short stories of inspiration. ​RADOST™ scarves have been featured at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC. How cool is that?! Hop over to the shop and wrap yourself in joy. 

Art Educator

Looking for unique art classes? I find much joy in meeting my students and introducing them to an array of artistic techniques. No experience necessary in any of my Zoom classes! Just bring your curious self and join me on a fun and insightful creative journey. Grab your workshop ticket here. 

Abstract Watercolorist

I love colors, shapes, and textures, and explore them in my abstract paintings in watercolors on yupo. You can find my artworks at OAK in Kensington, Maryland. I am a board member of the Montgomery Art Association. Follow my colorful adventures on Instagram (@martinasestakovaart).
