About The Artist
“I’ve been interested in photography since working on the yearbook in high school. After graduating from NAIT I went into advertising and product photography, then started my own studio. With my then partner, I ran a full-time wedding and portrait studio for 12 years. Now I am taking a different direction with my work into fine art, travel and stock photography. Photography is my passion and the people that enjoy my work make it worthwhile. If people can relate to something I’ve photographed, or if I can make someone ‘feel’ something through my images, then I’ve achieved my goal.”
Born and raised in Edmonton, Darlene has had formal training in photography at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. She enjoys weddings, portraits, fine art, and travel photography. During 16 years experience her style has evolved from a more formal style, to one that incorporates the popular trend of journalistic style photography. She strives to capture each event, or portrait, as her clients wish, first and foremost. She is available for events in Edmonton and area, or to travel if her schedule permits.
She is currently exploring the realm of fine art photography with her exhibit titled “The Times and Places” that showcase things close to her heart – unique, touching places, and images and objects that transcend time. Her fine art work can be seen locally at Kamena Gallery, Madsen Studio, Art Beat Gallery, with the Night of Artists shows and exhibits, and various other venues.
