Martha Winkel



Martha has been looking through lenses since age eight when she received her first pair of glasses and her first camera(a Brownie) to take photos at camp, where she would achieve "shutterbug" status. She grew up taking pictures of family, friends and the wonders of the woods and flowers in Killingworth, Connecticut, where she grew up.

Spending several years in Europe, attending school and to life, her vision was enlightened by the art, history, architecture, people and customs of the countries where she lived and visited.

Her photographic inspiration is encouraged by Family, Friends, theatre, books, travel and whatever light, color, shape or image can be composed through the lenses of her camera

Martha resides in Warren, Connecticut where she lives with her husband Doug, a teacher at Shepaug High School, and serves as staff for three cats.
