A photographer in Upstate New York, Ward grew up in the country-loving nature and the outdoors. She discovered her love of photography while pursuing her undergraduate degree at SUNY Oswego.
Since then she has explored the world around her combining the two passions. Ward often is inspired by things overlooked, left behind or that do not belong, as she captures textures, colors and reflections in her lenses.
