About Martha Marks
I’m a retired college professor with a two-sided creative life.
On this side…
I’m a wildlife photographer. A bird photographer. A nature photographer in general. One who loves sharing the beauty of great natural places with others. Over forty years, I’ve made tens of thousands of quality images; sold thousands; published hundreds; and printed, framed, and sold fifty or sixty. I switched from film to digital in 2004 and never looked back. In 2017, I began producing hi-res videos; advanced to 4K in 2019.
For decades, I traveled the great American West with my late husband, fine-art painter Bernard Marks. We lived (and I still live) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, surrounded by fabulous natural areas. But we always were (and I still am) within a few hours of some of North America’s other most-amazing places… Colorado, Arizona, and Utah.
These days, I honor Bernie’s memory by making his beautiful paintings and prints available at bernardmarksfineart.com. I’m currently writing a memoir of our life together and will post links when it’s available.
This website gives me a way to share some of my own fine-art film and digital images, including the creative series that I call “Avian Impressions.” I’m also providing links to commercial stock photography sites where you can see many more and license them for your own uses.
I hope you’ll enjoy my photographic artwork!
On the other side…
