I am an accomplished, self-taught photographer, having my work exhibited at the Sundance Film Festival as “one of seven emerging female artists from across the U.S.” in 2009 and displayed at the World Wilderness Congress in Mexico in 2010. My photography has also graced book and music album covers, and been featured in many nature and human-nature related magazine articles, books and websites. I spent many years teaching photography and am currently represented by Getty Images, though I now spend more of my time with pen & ink and painting.
