Wanda’s love of travel and photography has taken her to many corners of the world. The daughter of a U.S. Air Force Pilot, Wanda grew up in places like Japan and several interesting cultures of our United States. As a result of living among people of different cultures and lifestyles, Wanda has become more informed about the world and its inhabitants and has been integrating this wisdom into her work. Taking the time to witness people in their environments has given her a more honest way of seeing the world through the lens of her camera. Wanda draws inspiration from being surrounded by powerful images drawn from art and history. She feels there is an image to be made from merging her deeply personal and intimate experiences of the world with a perspective that enables her to recognize elements in a scene that will make a compelling photograph. Wanda is a self-taught photographer and has been influenced by many of the field’s professionals, including Bruce Barnbaum, Fred Picker and Denis Reggie. Wanda’s photographs are a transcendent reflection of her genuine sense of awe and wonder at humanity and the world. “THAT WHICH MATTERS THE MOST, SHOULD NEVER GIVE WAY TO THAT WHICH MATTERS THE LEAST”…….UNKNOWN
