Mary Brown
Photographer/Multi Media Artist
Freezing moments of time, photography -- has been a lifelong interest of mine. My early photographs were landscapes from travels abroad that I used for my science classroom. From these landscapes I often wondered about what small details were hiding that needed to be exposed, so that led me into the magic of macro-photography. Life hidden, a wonderful challenge to expose those little things that most often we just pass by. My first photographic sales were of my colorful butterflies sold at the Santa Rosa Plateau Art Show in 2019. Another collection of my insect photos were on display in a Temecula library, "Insects, Up Close and Personal."
With a plethora of insect and flower photos just waiting to be brought to life, I chanced upon a collage artist showing her technique with assorted papers and decided to use my photos in collages. This is what I call PhotoArt. My photos given a new environment that I create for them. Most of the macro photos go into the collages but I continue to capture the landscapes of my travels.
Photography is and will always be my creative outlet, dreaming of places to see and images to come. Now, retired and content in the mountains of Warner Springs, my camera and I will continue to capture landscapes and all the tiny details of what is in the big picture.
