Professionally, she started her photography career working on an educational cruise ship, going on tours and capturing passengers interacting with whatever environment they found themselves in. Kathy has traveled to several third world countries, including SE Asia, Cuba, Mexico, Indonesia, Africa, as well as part of Europe and the Far East. She has made personal books for both herself and others of these travels. Currently Kathy lives in the Pacific Northwest and keeps busy with photography gigs when she is not traveling.
