Originally from a small town in Texas, Savarese resided and traveled throughout the world before making New York City her home in the early ‘80s following her graduation from Harvard Law School. After careers in corporate law and investment banking and a lengthy sabbatical to raise her family and pursue volunteer work for various human rights organizations, Savarese finally found her passion—photography—several years ago. Since then, her fine arts photography has appeared in numerous shows and publications and won several awards. Savarese also frequently works with not-for-profit organizations to help further their missions through strategic photography projects, and accepts commissions for commercial projects from time to time.
