Muse-Talk: Wild and Wide – A Global Photography Story with Sandy Nelson

November 22 | 1:00 PM – 2:15 PM  

Join us for an inspiring journey into the world of nature photography with local award-winning photographer Sandy Nelson, who discovered her passion later in life—thanks to a life-changing expedition to Antarctica. From humble beginnings with a point-and-shoot camera to capturing stunning wildlife and landscapes across the globe, her story is one of adventure, creativity, and lifelong learning. Through vivid images and personal anecdotes — from Costa Rica to the Galapagos, South Africa to Tobermory — she’ll share how photography became more than a hobby and how pushing past fear can lead to unforgettable experiences.
