Every time I go out to photograph nature I really find myself going within. Photography is my way of communing with the Universe, Source or God ...whatever one may call that divine essence.

A native Miamian, Fort Lauderdale photographer Phoenix has enjoyed a varied career that ranges from journalism and media relations to business coach and film-making instructor. All disciplines have converged to form who she is today: a celebrated nature photographer.

The seeds of being a nature photographer were planted as a child on family vacations to national parks when she accompanied her father as he magically captured each vista with a Polaroid camera and years later with a 35 mm SLR camera. This love of nature and photography was nurtured with a steady diet of watching nature programs on television and reading National Geographic Magazine.
