VALENTINE COWBOY is Marilyn Natoli's tribute to the Apacheland Movie Ranch (located near the base of the Superstition Mountains in Gold Canyon, Arizona) and to those who lived and loved it, and those who have never seen it.

Marilyn had a vintage western photography studio in Apacheland that burned to the ground along with several other merchants’ shops. Of the few remaining structures left standing, the Elvis Chapel and the Rifleman’s barn were spared from the ravenous flames.

Step inside VALENTINE COWBOY, and discover the mystique, intrigue, humor, sadness, love and countless photographs that are sprinkled with the "SPIRIT OF APACHELAND."

Born on Sept. 14, 1952, in New York from parents of Sicilian descent, Marilyn moved to Florida at the age of 13 where she lived for 30 years and raised two children. In 1995 she discovered paradise here in the Grand Canyon state where she's been ever since.

Marilyn has a love for photography and channeled that passion by opening a vintage western photography studio in the Apacheland Movie Ranch in Gold Canyon, Arizona. Marilyn's work has been seen on many magazine covers, from THE GOLD CANYON LEDGER , The APACHE JUNCTION CHAMBER OF COMMERCE directory to Black and White magazine. She's also donated her work for use for RELAY FOR LIFE , a nonprofit organization for Breast cancer.

Marilyn's love for family, friends, community,  and the state of Arizona, continue to inspire her photography, as well as writing about the most beautiful place on earth. She loves to take nature walks in her own backyard at the base of the majestic Superstition Mountains.
