Hi y’all. I’m Shannon, an environmental and climate activist (Climate Reality Leader, trained by former US Vice President Al Gore, and a Hays County Master Naturalist) who uses my photography to promote nature conservation. I live in the beautiful Texas Hill Country on 4.5 acres* with my husband, dogs, and abundant wildlife.
I bought a camera when I turned 50 in 2012, rather than having a mid-life crisis. I got more serious in 2016, when I began shooting in earnest with a macro lens. That led to The Pollinators Project, the intersection of art and advocacy for pollinator conservation. I’ve expanded beyond pollinators to include nature images, highlighting the need for biodiversity protection, and also documentary photography for KruShan Foundation, which my husband and I co-founded in 2022. 100% of image sale proceeds go to the foundation.
To come up with some impressive-sounding verbiage about my “process” is beyond me. I fear I would sound like a self-involved ass. I photograph what I like. That’s it.
My photography has been exhibited at the Wimberley Valley Art League Gallery, Art on 12 Gallery, A Smith Gallery, Linda Allen’s Fine Foods, East Main Street Grill, San Marcos Visitor Center, Lost Pines Art Center, Jacob’s Well Visitor Center, and served as source images for artist Tony Sansevero’s outdoor mural wall at the Hotel Flora & Fauna in Wimberley, Texas.
