Author Biography

A former professor of botany at the Unviersity of Arizona, Willard Clay left his Ph.D. research projects and teaching career in 1982 to pursue nature photography on a full-time basis. Traveling throughout the country with a 4x5 view camera, Willard seeks natural compositions in color and form that are distinctive. Will’s photography first appeared in Arizona Highways magazine in 1979, and has since been published in myriad national publications, including magazines, calendars, books, and posters from the Sierra Club, Audobon, Outside, and more. Willard makes his home in Illinois with Debra Alsvig-Clay and her two sons, Curt and David. Judy Sellers has lived in Colorado for more than thirty years, exploring the backcountry on foot, ski, and bike. A landscape designer by profession, she writes a weekly gardening column for the Colorado Springs Gazette. Her passion for the outdoors has led to involvement with many conservation organizations, both locally and nationally. The mother of two sons, she lives in the foothills of Colorado Springs with her cardiologist husband and two cats. This is her first book.
