“FOCUSED ON THE POWER, BEAUTY AND GRACE OF CREATION…” ABOUT MARK “Focused on the power, beauty and grace of Creation in the wilderness and unspoiled places of the American West and beyond, my mission is to attempt to capture these elements using digital photography and convey them in fine art prints. It is my hope that my photography will inspire people to have a healthy reverence for the natural world around us and lift their eyes to the One who created it.” “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”  Mark Overton’s passion for fine art landscape photography has developed from a life long love of the outdoors. First exposed to photography in high school, he learned the fundamentals in a traditional darkroom and enjoyed looking for photographic compositions in nearby opens spaces and regional parks. During college, Mark backpacked in various California wilderness areas while studying economics of energy and the environment and other issues unique to the geography of the American West. After graduation he entered the workforce but the “call” of the mountains was still audible. Vacation time was spent camping and hiking while focusing on photographing God’s diverse creation as Mark sees it in nature. Having spent many years in the foothills and mountains of the Sierra Nevada, Mark and his wife Lauralee now live in Colorado where he continues to hunt for wilderness photos. Creating fine art images and landscape prints is a great way to blend Mark’s background, interests, beliefs, and goals.
