Greetings! I am an Oregon artist and Yellowstone National Park Ranger Naturalist.  Since graduating in 1997 from Portland State University, with a B.S. in biology, I have been living my dream as a Park Ranger and wildlife artist.  I have spent 10 years working for the National Park Service, teaching about the wildlands and animals of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.   It has been a privilege to inspire visitors to protect the parks.  The vast opportunities to watch wildlife and explore untracked areas has been a gift.  My summer weekends are spent hiking, climbing, kayaking and fishing and I always bring along my camera to capture memories. If you are in Yellowstone this coming summer, stop in and say hello to my friends at the Fishing Bridge Visitor Center, located on the shores of Yellowstone Lake, and my Mom, who will work at the West Entrance of Yellowstone.  I owe my Mom, greatly, for taking me to the National Parks to learn and become inspired by the beautiful wilds.  Please say Hello to my Yellowstone Family!   Cheers and Happiest Trails, Mimi
