Orland Arts Commission

In His Own Words

Darren Marshall:
"I'm a nature and landscape artist who adores remote wilderness areas, our old growth forests, and the desert southwest. I am also a member of Nature First. I practice their principles:

* Prioritize the well-being of nature over photography.

* Educate yourself about the places you photograph.

* Reflect on the possible impact of your actions.

* Use discretion if sharing locations.

* Know and follow the rules and regulations.

* Always follow Leave No Trace principles.

* Strive to leave places better than you found them.

* Actively promote and educate others about these principles.

My goal with my imagery is to encourage your appreciation for our National Parks, Monuments, and Forests. And when you visit these incredible locations, you'll remember to be mindful of their delicate beauty and always, please, try to leave no trace."

Meet and visit with the artists at the Orland Art Center Gallery.

Artists Reception: Friday, October 6th, from 3 to 7 p.m. This exhibit runs from October 6th through November 18th
