Aubrey began her career in photography managing her high school darkroom in the 80's. She was fortunate to meet a National Geographic photographer as a teenager who took her under wing, providing guidance and insights. She continued working in the darkroom at Colorado College throughout her college years continuing to develop her composition and technical darkroom skills as well as taking photography courses. Her love of international travel started 26 years ago in middle school with a trip to England. Since then, she has traveled extensively to 14 countries on 5 continents. Some of her favorites included Palau, Sulawesi, Uganda, Greece, Dominica and New Zealand. She has also traveled to, studied or worked in Pohnpei, Kosrae, England, France, Greece, Australia, Vietnam, Thailand and Ukraine. An avid hiker, PADI divemaster, adventure traveler and naturalist, she combines her passion for design, creating a sense of place and a love of nature to each of her images. She has a special interest in tropical island ecosystems and the microclimates they create as well as the fragility of the environment. She and her husband live on a flower farm on the slopes of Haleakala volcano on Maui. A dream job would be working for National Geographic. Enjoy the visual spa!
