Kerrie Gardner

Kerrie is a Devon-based artist and writer who likes to dabble in a variety of crafts, including photography. Her work is motivated by the relationship I have with the natural world, which she finds endlessly fascinating. Her interest was piqued a few years ago when she started foraging for edible mushrooms, but now tends to only forage for photographs. Kerrie has learnt that photographing fungi is not as easy as some might think - getting a decent shot often takes much patience and perseverance, especially as many mushrooms grow close to the ground or in other similarly awkward places to photograph.

Already a keen photographer, the pandemic changed her leisure focus to photography, and she became President of Hoylake Photographic Society, an L&CPU judge and speaker. Sue enjoys lecturing and judging photography because of the satisfaction that comes with helping and encouraging others when sharing knowledge and expertise, and with meeting good people and seeing outstanding work.
