Paul Marto
Artist
Paul Marto has been passionate about photography since the early 80s. Nature, wildlife and action sports are his favorite genres; he loves the challenge caused by the unpredictability of his subjects. Paul grew up in Carmel Valley, CA and has spent the last 28 years in Orange County, so it is no surprise that he has gravitated towards wildlife photography. Numerous organization such as National Geographic, The Orange County Register, Irvine World News, WildlifePhotographyNews.net, Irvine Valley College, and Photo of the Day.com have featured Paul’s work, and he is a recent winner of the City of Irvine 40th Anniversary Photo Contest. Juried into a number of organizations including LagunaArt.com, AmericaFineArt.org, Artists of America, Gallery 104, RAWArtists.org and TurningArt.com. He is active within the Irvine Unified School District and gives presentations on wildlife photography. From the artist: Through my photography, I am trying to bring awareness to the abundant collection of wildlife that cohabit the Orange County area. The more we know about these amazing animals and their requirements, the better prepared we will be to live a peaceful coexistence with them. I strive to present brilliant photographs of these wonderful creatures, large and small, in a way that will both inspire and educate.
