I am a fine art photographer specializing in equine and Western photography. I have traveled throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico photographing wild horses in their natural habitats. Living in Arizona puts me in close proximity to some of the largest ranches in the West, where I have had the honor of spending time photographing working ranch life. Monument Valley is not only close to my home but also close to my heart. The people, the peacefulness, and the vast landscapes of the Navajos are inspirational for my photography. My work has received international photo and art awards, including the Siena International Photo Awards, Moscow International Photo Awards, PX3 Paris International Photo Awards, Tokyo International Photo Awards. I have been awarded #1 Black & White Photographer in the United States 2021 and #3 Black & White Photographer 2021 in the World by One Eyeland. One Eyeland B&W Awards. BIO Born in a small mid-western town in the US I have always been a rural girl at heart with a great love for animals, open spaces and nature. After earning my degree in Fine Art from Universities in Minnesota, life landed me working and living in large cities for the bulk of my career. I worked for US corporations in Phoenix, Hong Kong, London, and Los Angeles from 1990 to 2006. Fast forward to today, and a much slower way of life, remote Arizona is home. Living on a small ranch surrounded by over a million acres of national forest, wilderness, and wildlife I am fortunate to be able to spend my time photographing what brings me the most joy … horses, and nature. My work has been collected worldwide. I enjoy collaborating with Interior Designers on projects both large and small in the hospitality industry or for private collectors.
