Her subject matter is her own back yard, a three acre prairie, the woods and farmland that surround the farm.  One of the techniques used in her photography is scanography, in which she places leaves, prairie flowers, and bedding plants on a scanner to create images that have deep detail, and a surrealistic feel.  She won first place with “Prairie Flowers” in the CAG Annual Juried Exhibit 2013.  Her work has been exhibited at New Visions Gallery in Marshfield, Northern National Art Competition, Inner Visions Gallery, Milwaukee, The West Bend Art Museum, Cedarburg Cultural Center and galleries in California.

Mark Stall #18 on the Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 10-12th

Mark Stall is drawn to things and places that have seen their better days. They're in one form of deterioration and in entropy like everything in the universe. He knew that thousands if not tens-of-thousands of people were in this very space at one time in history and that he is capturing what he truly loved to see at that moment in time. Mark makes altered images that don't look altered. Unaltered images that look altered. This forces the viewer into wondering about their individual world and about our living realty. His images demonstrate a graphical theme of patterns, abstracts and light. Color plays an important part in Mark's images and his selection of composition is the predominant reason for making an image. Creating images allows Mark to explore the world. Mark enjoys the resulting image and response he receives from his community. That response is always different. It can be global, cultural, personal or a combination of all three. His hope is his work can cause a response in people's passion to relate to situations or objects in our world. As in the deterioration of society and countries, he is inspired to document the changing condition with hopes of inspiring people to preserve them or at least be more aware of them.
