Featured Testimonial:
"I wanted a statement piece for my Airbnb. There's a spot above the fireplace that needed, "the piece" Mark provided that piece. The art is perfect for and represents Chico. I was able to purchase 1 of 50 prints and proud to display it in the home. Highly recommend Mark Thau Photography." – Traci Cooper, Realtor, Chico
The Enchanting Beauty of Upper Bidwell Park
Upper Bidwell Park, located in Chico, CA, is a natural haven known for its diverse landscapes, including rugged canyons, rolling hills, and serene creeks. My goal with my fine art landscape prints is to beautifully encapsulate this park’s unique charm, bringing the essence of what I considered typical landscapes of Northern California with the oaks and the rolling hills into homes and galleries. This year, my portfolio has expanded to include even more mesmerizing scenes from Upper Bidwell Park, capturing the park's ever-changing moods throughout the seasons.
