Thank you for visitng JeanneGadol.com. I've loved nature and art all my life and have worked with various mediums through the years. I especially enjoy photographing wildlife and finding beauty in common things.

What I like most about taking pictures is the way it increases my appreciation and awareness of the natural world around me. Working with my photographic images to create fine digital artistry allows me to celebrate the essence of the original image(s) as I express and superimpose upon it my aesthetic and emotional reactions to it (learn more about my digital artistry).

Although I am primarily self-taught, I have studied under and assisted National Geographic Photographer Ralph Lee Hopkins and world renowned color landscape photographer and environmental activist Robert Glenn Ketchum.
