Louise Anne Marler is a Santa Monica-based photographer, designer and curator. She works in graphic and fine arts, specializing in vibrantly colorful imaging produced with super fine detail. Marler’s world communicates a deep tension between old and young; dirty and clean; rough and delicate. She distills beauty in the otherwise mundane.
Marler is an outspoken environmentalist, incorporating sustainability into her art, and she works with activists to promote the message of ecological health.
L.A. Marler is known for the Oil Is History® grassroots campaign that she created from her junkyard cars photo series. The photographs are paired with other artists’ work and alternative fuel autos to educate the public on new energy transportation.
She says, “My passions for color, composition and communicating visually are demonstrated in my work and I strive for a simplistic beauty, rooted in truth and humor. 
Simple by design. Inspired by vintage Americana, I make contemporary statements of retro subject matters; I am fascinated by machinery as well as nature and I strive to create beauty from would-be mundane matter. I deliberately focus on the pure essentials of an image and I’m interested in the shadow, abstract composition, architectural geometry and organic beauty of landscapes. With an adventurous spirit, I explore different techniques and my favorite personal statement is, ‘You never know, unless you try.’ I consider myself original to the core, but I do love the work of Andy Warhol and Jeff Brouws.”
