​​​​

Kathy Triolo is an award-winning Fine Art Photographer and Digital Artist, celebrated for her unique ability to capture the essence of nature and the wild beauty of the world around us. Based in the picturesque Sierra Nevada foothills of California, Kathy's work reflects a deep connection to her surroundings, where light, texture, and emotion merge to create evocative photographic art.

​

Her creative journey began with a passion for storytelling through the lens, leading to a career that spans both traditional photography and modern digital artistry. With a focus on dynamic compositions and vivid contrasts, Kathy’s work often blends reality with the surreal, transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary visual experiences. From the spirited energy of wild horses to the intricate beauty of landscapes, her imagery invites viewers to see the world through her eyes—bold, thought-provoking, and alive with possibility.

​

Kathy's artistry has earned her notable recognition, including the coveted Golden Bear Award for Best of Photography in 2018. Her work has been showcased in galleries, including Auburn Old Town Gallery, and she has had pieces accepted into the prestigious PBS KVIE Art Auction every year since 2020.
