About Us

I'm Mark Lisk

I have always been drawn to the natural landscape, and it heavily influences my photography. Nature's light and composition serve as powerful motivations for me, guiding my artistic journey. It is a constant mission that brings me comfort and reveals boundless beauty. Rather than being an escape, immersing myself in nature is a way to reconnect with authenticity and the absence of artificiality.My photographs capture the intricate details of the natural world, from the mesmerizing patterns on a dry lake bed to the vibrant hues of delicate lichen against a backdrop of majestic granite peaks. Through my unique foregrounds, I distinguish myself, encapsulating entire wildernesses within single frames, preserved beneath glass.Both color and black-and-white photography are employed to evoke a sense of isolation, as if the viewer is standing alone amidst vast, sweeping landscapes. These images can stand alone as individual pieces, but they also form part of various book collections, including "Idaho Impressions" (1997), "Salmon River Country" (2005), "Desert Water" (2005), "Idaho - Portrait of a State" (2007), "Owyhee Canyon Lands" (2008), "Sawtooth/Whitecloud" (2016), and my latest series published by Familius Publishing: "Idaho, The Gem State" (2019), "Arizona, The Grand Canyon State" (2020), and "Utah, The Bee Hive State" (2022)..

Nature serves as my ultimate inspiration. Whether it's the graceful meander of a river or the awe-inspiring majesty of a mountain peak, the beauty I encounter in untamed landscapes never fails to captivate me. I rely on my sketchbook as a camera, enabling me to document the extraordinary places I explore.Back in my studio, I transfer these sketches onto sanded aluminum sheets, infusing them with vibrant acrylic paints. Each piece begins with a meticulous line drawing, which then serves as the foundation for layering colors that mirror the simplicity found in nature's design.Among all the subjects I capture, trees hold a special place in my heart. Their essence is defined by clean, uncomplicated lines, and they become my favorite models. While I enjoy experimenting with incorporating figures inspired by eroded rocks and organic shapes into my artwork, I always find myself returning to the pure, structural beauty of trees. They guide me back to the inherent innocence and simplicity of the natural world that resonates so deeply within me.From a young age, I harbored dreams of dedicating my life to the pursuit of art. As I transitioned from decorative painting to expressing intricate landscapes through layers of color, I found my true calling. The vastness of nature never fails to humble me. I consider it a profound honor to spend my days immersed in its breathtaking beauty, both in reality and within the realm of my artistic creations.
