Marilyn Bridges Wall Art

Marilyn Bridges (Born in 1948) was born in an artistic family. Her mother was an artist and she encouraged her to dance and draw. Her father was an amateur photographer. Although as a child she never imagined that photography would become her career, she learnt that making a good photograph takes concentration. Today, she’s a professional photographer best known for her fine art black-and-white aerial photographs of astonishing contemporary and ancient landscapes. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology where she majored in photography. In 1976 Marilyn began her career in aerial photography in the Peruvian desert. She hired a small airplane to fly over the Nazca Lines. While in the Rochester Institute of Technology, her technique was not yet refined, but the eloquent light, the deep shadows, and sense of time unnaturally standing were still present in each of his prints.

Marilyn is a Fellow of the Explorers Club and a licensed pilot. She’s photographed secular and sacred sites in more than twenty countries, including India, Indonesia, Namibia, Australia, Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Britain, France, Mexico, and Peru, among others. Marilyn’s art has been exhibited in more than 300 galleries and museums, including solo exhibitions at the Moscow House of Photography in Russia, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, the George Eastman House in Rochester, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, the International Center of Photography in New York and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
