About Artist

Lennette Newell

Lennette was born on the high plains in Kimball, Nebraska. Daughter to a large animal veterinarian, her fascination with animal behavior sparked at a young age amidst a ranch equipped with a small and large animal hospital. Her curiosity in animals was augmented by her captivation with the entire natural world, from plants growing in her yearly garden to the dramatic cloud formations penetrated by diverse sunlight patterns. Mesmerized by her environment, Lennette chose to use the art of photography to capture these enthralling aspects of life. Beginning as a commercial photographer, she specialized in advertisements containing humans and animals. Simultaneously, she maintained a passion to pursue fine art, constantly photographing the natural world in original styles, focusing on our relationship with the surrounding ecosphere. Her work has been honored with many photographic accolades and shown in several exhibitions worldwide.
