Greta_Gard

Growing up in Alaska, Hawaii, and abroad, Greta has always expressed her passion for life and the outdoors through photography. She won awards for her pictures and creative writing in contests as a child, then in high school she interned as a writer and photographer for Alaska’s capital city newspaper, the Juneau Empire. Later, Greta gained two BAs from the University of Nevada, Reno, studying photography under Professors Peter Goin and Steve Davis. She was then awarded a Masters of Environmental Law from Vermont Law School, where she received the Marsh Fellowship for her photographic depictions of student life and nature.

Greta has created documentary photographic essays on complicated topics such as: the plight of endangered Bengal tigers in India; threats to the Tongass National Forest in Alaska; adverse environmental impacts on public lands in Nevada and California; water pollution issues in Vermont; and astonishing interactions with wild animals. Her work has been shown in Nevada, California, Vermont, Washington, D.C., and throughout Southeast Alaska.

Greta often integrates her photography, speaking, and writing, while being consistently aware of the political meanings inherent in image making. Her photographs illuminate her love for the natural environment and other social concerns. She also enjoys exploring artistic issues involving beauty, nudity, technology, power, and humor.
