The Beauty of North Louisiana

I really had one shot. Going back to the exact spot was not always easy or possible.” - Maria Markell

OCTOBER 4 - OCTOBER 30, 2021
From photography to highly textured paintings to mosaic to assemblage with found objects and everything in between, I am a versatile Visual Artist that loves to create. When I was a toddler, I drew whales and trees with crayons on my freshly painted yellow bedroom walls; and when I received my first camera for my 9th birthday, I ran around like a national geographic photographer, photographing everything. 

These days, I enjoy creating images that show subjects that may have gone unnoticed in our fast-paced world. The first time I was on Caddo Lake, I was so enamored by its beauty. I HAD to photograph it. I am honored to be able to share these photographs and let you see what I saw through my eyes!
