Brenda began exploring an interest in landscape photography several years ago and always says how blessed she feels to live in New England, which offers extraordinary and endless photo opportunities. “I was looking for a creative outlet as a way to connect with more peace, joy, and contentment. It started out purely for my own enjoyment, but I quickly found that it was evolving into an opportunity to connect with others. There is nothing like someone expressing what they feel when they look at one of my photos, and having it be exactly what I felt when I was there. That’s such a gift to me!”

Brenda is a member of the Nashua Area Artists Association. She won first place in photography in 2018 and 2021, as well as Best in Theme in 2019 and 2022, at the Beaver Brook Fall Festival in Hollis. She was honored to be chosen as the Featured Artist at that event in 2023. Her work can be seen throughout a recently published book The Way of Hope by author Annabel Beerel, and also in several Chambers of Commerce magazines. You can purchase cards from CASA for their “Cards for a Cause” fundraiser featuring Brenda’s photos as well.
