For 33 years, Eureka Springs, Arkansas has been the home of the Ozark Mountain UFO Conference and this year, Ridgeline Arts will be exhibiting originals and reproductions of our new line of space-age art.

While the content of the conference is serious, we'll lighten the mood with Denise's colorful and often humorous space age paintings and reproductions.

We were sorting through some artwork from my father (Ray Marta) the other day and came across his illustration celebrating the first moon landing, so I thought I'd share it with everyone.

Select botanical artwork by Denise Marta-Burch is now available at Bear Creek Nursery and Landscaping, located about 3 miles north of Eureka Springs, AR on Highway 23. 

Here I am, all set up and ready for opening early on Mother's Day in Eureka Springs' Basin Park.  This was my first official art fair and it was a great experience. 

On of the many skills exhibited by Ray Marta during his career, was his ability to create portraits that captured the essence and emotional moments of his subjects. 

Artist influences come from personal preferences, exposure to varied styles and sometimes from heritage. The Marta family lineage includes several artists, including Giuseppe Castiglione.
