Thanks for VOTING me BEST ARTIST/PHOTOGRAPHER FIRST PLACE in the "Santa Cruz Weekly" Readers Poll TWO YEARS IN A ROW!! (2011-2012)



And Best Photographer Runner Up in the "Good Times Readers Poll" 2010-2011!




My photography is a reflection of what my heart connects with in the moment. My name means "Maiden of the Woods" and I've always felt connected to Nature, particularly with trees and forests.

I re-discovered my love of artistic photography on a trip to New Zealand in 2008 with my husband Paul. We love to travel and experience the richness of other cultures and landscapes. And we’re always exploring nooks and crannies near our home too! Many of my favorite photos are from our own backyard...Carmel, Big Sur, Corralitos and Santa Cruz.

I love capturing the Spirit of a place, often using close angles and light to bring a magical, unique perspective. Most of my work is untouched and natural, just as you would see in person. I hope my photography inspires you. I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to connect personally anytime…I love expanding my community!

I contribute a portion of all sales from my art to humanitarian and environmental projects close to my heart. www.AwakeningTheDreamer.org & www.PachaMama.org

Products Available: Framed Enlargements, Mats, Prints, Greeting Cards, Mouse Pads, Magnets, Postcards and more!

*Bulk order and wholesale discounts available for retailers*

Contact me if you know of locations that would love inspiring artwork or greeting cards!
Love,
Sylvia
