(Yellowstone, 2015)

Anna Grady

In 2012, I bought my very first camera. It was the smallest piece of equipment I've ever owned. With that small Nikon point and shoot camera, I found my passion. I believe with that forty dollar camera, I was exposed to an entirely new field of art I had no clue I'd be so in love with. A few years later, I upgraded. I bought another point and shoot camera, but a  much more complex version. That camera brought me to buy my first DSLR. I saved my money for what seemed like forever, and when that packaged arrived, it felt like Christmas in April. To this day I still use the same camera, traveling across the United States to national parks and beautiful destinations to capture their pure beauty. 

Although photography is my primary passion, I am also deeply immersed in many areas of fine art: charcoal, acrylic, oil, graphite and fluid painting. Having all of these techniques at hand, I amaze myself seeing the end result of creativity and free flowing love for everything I create.
