Jan Kessel

Artist Statement

I have held a camera in my hands all of my life. It's the magic in nature that speaks to me. With my photography, I try and capture the beauty I see, so others can see it too. I photograph the natural world. Whether a beautiful landscape, the magic of flowers and color, or an abstract photograph, the world can be seen and experienced in a new way. A native of Los Angeles, I now live in the majestic Pacific Northwest. I also love to travel and be at the ocean. I am constantly inspired and restored by the beauty of nature. This endeavor was a new experience for me. I really enjoyed the subject matter as I have lived it.
