Maggie Clarke has always had an eye for landscape. Her long-standing interest in environmental studies and photography were both sparked while on a junior year exchange program at Dartmouth College. She has a few environmental interests, for example, shooting landscapes of rocky mountains, flowers, gardens, and environmental and energy installations. In 1981/82 she combined her love of bike touring with photography of the Chinese landscape and peoples. Since the late 1960s she has focused her camera lens on subjects as diverse as mountains (Canadian and Colorado Rockies, Whites, Greens, and Berkshires of New England, the Alps, as well as Fuji in Japan), rainforests (Washington to Alaska), peoples and environment of southeast China, and gardens (English, Dutch, Canadian as well as American gardens.
Maggie also freelances as an environmental consultant and has often been an adjunct professor of Geography
at Hunter College, having earned her Ph.D. in earth and environmental sciences
in 2000, and served on the executive boards of a multitude of environmental
technical and citizens' advisory committees specializing in waste prevention and
recycling. She is webmaster for RING (www.ringgarden.org),
and took many of the photos featured at the community garden she founded
in 1984.
