Gretchen comes from a long line of artists and, as a child, she assisted her father (and served as his model) at his photography studio. Her mother was an artist with the needle and two of her uncle's were sculptors, and a cousin is a writer

Taking pictures of old doorways is her passion and she has a large collection of these that were taken over the years, throughout the world. In St. Louis she spends time at "The Garden" or at the gardens of friends to photograph flowers. Either at home or abroad, she always has her camera ready to shoot!

In the fall of 2000, there was an opportunity to exhibit her photos, enlarged and framed, at "Library Limited" (now "Border's Books" at Brentwood Square).

The pictures assembled throughout this website were all taken at the Missouri Botanical Garden. The clarity comes from the fact that she has an "eye" for just the right angle and light, and she has an excellent camera with German lenses.
