“By the Sea and Beyond – Discoveries”: Photography by Marsha Senft
“My name is Marsha Senft. My goal as a freelance photographer is to capture a moment in time wherever that may be. Photography has evolved into a life-long passion for me, earning recognition from the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum, the Nebraska State Historical Society, and Nebraska Life Magazine. My art has been on display in several galleries throughout the Omaha area, and my photos were chosen to represent the American Conifer Society in their 2025 calendar and Midwest Bank and The Nebraska Association of County Officials in their 2024 calendars. Presently, my photographs adorn the walls of local businesses bringing positive energy to their environment.
“By the Sea and Beyond-Discoveries” brings the essence of the ocean and beyond to life. Capturing the beauty of these amazing intertwined moments of nature creates unique perspectives. It is my hope that you will continue enjoying my photos at the Eisenberg Art Gallery as much as I appreciate the opportunity to share them with you.”
