About The Artist
Nicki Steel: Photography has been part of my life since I was a child, although I didn’t start my photography business until the late 1990s.
I enjoy sharing my love of the rural landscape and way of life. Whether it’s “the big picture” of New England scenery, a leaf detail or a farm animal, I consider myself lucky that others enjoy how I see the world. One of my favorite compliments was someone who said, “I look at things now that I didn’t pay attention to before.”
I love grabbing my camera and exploring nearby woods and fields or driving the back roads of Vermont. Sometimes I’ve been there before and want to revisit it in a different season or time of day. Other times, there’s new territory to explore and every turn brings a photographic opportunity. My “Hearts in Nature” is another way of exploring the outdoors and it continues to grow. In the last few years I have spent many hours observing and photographing local resident loons and eagles.
While a few photos are taken further away, most of my work is done within 15 miles of my Vermont home. The website is just a partial collection of my photos, so if there is something that you are searching for, feel free to contact me or follow me on Facebook for my most recent work. I may already have the perfect shot.
Nicki Steel Events:
I will be at the Vermont Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Festival in September and will have a month-long show at Bartleby’s Bookstore in February. Other shows and talks will be scheduled throughout the year. Please feel free to contact me or follow me on Facebook for updated information.
