Markus Eye

Way back starting in grade school, Markus Eye's school teachers recognized his talents in the arts. Then in high school, his fine art painting caught the eyes of the Governor of Wisconsin, Patrick Louey who awarded him for his talents.

After graduation, he went to work for Frank H. Bercker Commercial Art Studio, and also attended a Midwestern university for fine art.

In his free time he rented a pre-civil war historical landmark building studio space called The Iron Block. His work from there was exhibited in banks, airports, large plush hotels, and city hall.

Markus' activity in college lead him to many awards and over 50 photographs published. The college newspaper asked him to be photo editor with a responsibility of supervision 15 photographers. Markus' performance was recognized in St. Louis MO by the Associated College Press and National Council of College Publications Association.

After leaving college, Markus Eye went to work for a commercial advertising photography studio. There clients included Kraft, Harley Davidson, Miller Beer, Country Hand Craft Avery Jewelry, Boston Store, and Dow Chemical. Markus then progressed to a national award winning studio, photographing for General Motors, Cancery Restaurant, Vito Instruments, Custom Craft Yarns, Johnson & Johnson, and Target Stores.

Eye then became the director of operations of a modeling agency casting over 350 models and actors all over the nation, along with judging pageants.

After 5-1/2 years with the modeling agency, Markus went on tour with a crew, photographing all over the United States, and settled in Sedona AZ, where he is today.
