Local Nature and Wildlife Photographer Kathy Ozzard Chism lives her life to help others, and sees our world through a lens of LOVE.

Her lineage includes five generations of professional female photographers.  Viewing the natural beauty on earth through a camera lens has been a lifelong passion.

Kathy is a featured photographic artist at Fine Art America, and is known for her uncanny ability to connect intimately with wildlife, who all seem to love posing for her!

She prefers to work without filters or “tweaking” her photographs, as she is a purist who believes it is impossible to improve upon Nature.

Her work brings a sense of peace and calm to all who view it. 

Kathy is also a holistic wellness educator, author of three books, and co-founder of an all-volunteer elementary school in Uganda for AIDS orphans and children of prisoners.
