Diane Bollen

Diane Bollen is a photographic artist from the Hudson Valley region just north of New York City. Her artistic endeavors began at a very young age with her inspiration coming from the natural world. Her career continued as she learned to combine science and art (photography) to uncover geologic mysteries first on Earth, studying the ecosystem of the major rivers of the world using satellite imagery. And later on Mars as a member of the imaging team on the Mars Exploration Rover Mission. 

As an artist, Diane looks for the unique beauty in landscape, those moments and scenes that others may walk by and not even notice. Diane photographs around the world with her husband, Joe Brady. Together they teach classes in photography and photoshop both live and via the web as well as leading photo workshops in places like The Grand Tetons and Tuscony.
