📸🌿 Meet Lenore Hotchkiss – Art Center Shutterbugs Member Spotlight! 🌿📸

With 50 years behind the camera, Lenore Hotchkiss brings a lifelong love of art and a deep appreciation for the natural world to her photography. A self-taught photographer, Lenore enjoys capturing nature and the beauty found everywhere outdoors. Her goal is simple but meaningful: she hopes her photographs inspire viewers to pause and develop a greater appreciation for nature. 🌳🦋

Lenore photographs with Canon equipment and enjoys a combination of planning her shots and capturing those unexpected moments. One of her most meaningful photographs is of a baby fawn in Colorado walking toward her with a curious look—a beautiful moment of connection with the natural world. 🦌❤️

A longtime member of the Art Center, Lenore joined Art Center Shutterbugs last year. For her, being part of the photography community is all about sharing. She says the club’s workshops, field trips, and guest speakers have all been beneficial to her photography journey.

She is currently working on a photography series called “Off The Dock.” And here’s an interesting fact: Lenore is a Florida Master Naturalist! 🌿

Her dream photography destinations? She has already checked them off her list—Tanzania and Kenya! 🌍📷

And when she’s editing? Coffee, of course! ☕📸
