Gretchen's fantastic photos illustrate a true passion for both photography and wildlife. She captured a number of her images while on safari in Africa. There, she met a Kenyan man named Benson Mugambi, who has set up his own local touring company. She and her safari companions toured with him for a couple of weeks - enjoying the many inspiring scenes now shown through her work.

Also while in Africa, Gretchen visited a friend of her husband's family, Cynthia Moss, in Amboseli, Kenya. Cynthia has been studying elephants in Amboseli for more than 30 years, and works for the African Elephant Conservation Trust.
