“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.”  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 the nearby opens spaces. While in college, he backpacked in various California wilderness areas and studied economics, geography and environmental issues 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 of the Sierra Nevada, Mark and his wife Lauralee now live in Colorado where wilderness photography opportunities are plentiful. Creating fine art images and landscape prints is a great way to blend Mark’s background, interests, beliefs, and goals. ACCOMPLISHMENTS
