Journey West aka Susan Wolfe
A little about me...
I am a south central Montana based photographer. Home base is Joliet, a small farming town
30 miles southwest of Billings with gorgeous views of the Beartooth, Absoroka and Pryor mountain
ranges. At just 100 miles to Yellowstone Park, I am truly blessed to live in one of the most beautiful
locations in the United States.
I was raised and educated in the Kansas City area. I married a Montana native and for years made
vacation trips here. I dreamed of one day moving to this gorgeous state. My first career was with
a large corporation in the Kansas City area. In late 2008, I left that career behind. While my former
company was very good to me, I felt it was time for a change. That change led me to Montana and
to a new career in photography and art.
In 2009, I attended Rocky Mountain School of Photography's Summer Intensive program in Missoula,
Montana. Since then, I have attended workshops on wedding photography, documentary photography
and lighting.
My photographs have displayed at the Sprint Corporate Headquarters (Overland Park, Kansas) in 2007, at the First National Bank (Olathe, Kansas)
in 2008 and at the Joliet (Montana) Community Center in 2011 and 2015. My artwork is also on display at the Carbon County Arts Guild in
Red Lodge, Montana.
In 2010, I was photographer for Camp Quality Kansas, an organization that provides a summer camp experience for children coping with cancer.
In 2011, I was photographer for the Beartooth Billings Clinic's fundraiser "The Grease Ball".
In June, 2012 I was the event photographer for the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary's Founder's Day celebration.
In June, 2012 I was the event photographer for the 2012 Beartooth Billings Clinic's fundraiser "Woodstock".
In June, 2015, I was the event photographer for the 2015 Beartooth Billings Clinic's fundraiser "A Night in Paris".
In April 2016, I will be the event photographer for the 2016 Beartooth Billings Clinic's fundraiser "Super Heroes".
In 2017, I was chosen to participated in Sage Art Gallery's 3rd annual photography show and in the Carbon County Arts Guild's
silent auction during their Art in the Beartooth fundraiser in Red Lodge, Montana.
I am a member of the Billings Arts Association and the Big Sky Dab and Gab painting club.
The photo above is one of my favorites from the Montana Territory Peacemakers' shoot on September 22, 2012.
