Sunday forum

Saint Philip’s Creation Care Commission is excited to invite the community to meet Martha Retallick at 11:30am this Sunday, June 9, in La Paz.

Martha will offer a brief talk about various ways to harvest rainwater and use it for gardening (among other things), and how to create an oasis for yourself and Tucson’s wildlife.

“City Nature” is Martha’s book of beautiful photography, and she will have copies available for purchase.

Martha is an award-winning photographer, writer, and designer. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from the University of Michigan and has done additional coursework in graphic design and in building and construction technologies at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona.

Martha has freelanced as a commercial photographer, web and graphic designer, and a business consultant. She has also worked on the editorial staffs of three different publications.

As a fine art photographer, Martha has hosted her own solo photography exhibitions and has been included in group shows at Tucson’s Raices Taller 222 Art Gallery & Workshop and the Tohono Chul botanical garden.

In addition, Martha volunteers as a citizen scientist through daily weather monitoring and as an undergraduate admissions interviewer for the University of Arizona Eller College of Management.
