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 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 a seasoned traveler having spent time in Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Peru, Thailand, New Zealand and Australia. Darlene loves exotic locales, exotic food and experiencing different countries directly through the local people and the cultural arts. She also enjoys helping others and is currently promoting her book Visions of Peru to raise funds for the children there.
Her vision is to share her artistic talents through teaching “the art of seeing”, and to spread love and tolerance through the experience of truly connecting with and understanding people of different cultures.
