Having grown up in the small coastal town of Southport, on the southeast coast of North Carolina and spending many of her early years on Bald Head Island, where her father was the caretaker, Patti Gail Price developed a passion for nature.  She spent her summers, many holidays and weekends on this then, uninhabited island. Patti Gail and her family enjoyed fishing, riding loggerhead sea turtles back into the surf, duck hunting and endless explorations of the island’s beaches and maritime forest. It was a childhood many could only dream of. Patti Gail loved the outdoors, the salt air, the sense of adventure and even the salt water consumed while swimming and playing in the Atlantic Ocean and creeks that surround Bald Head. Through these experiences, she gained an appreciation of nature, family and of the amazing God who created it all.

Patti Gail, with the  help and support of her husband Dwayne, has photographed nationally including  the rocky coast of Maine,  quaintness of Martha's Vineyard, North and South Carolina's mountains and coasts, picturesque Savannah, Georgia and the rich southwest colors of Arizona. Internationally, she has captured the magic of Florence, Rome, Sorrento and Positano, Italy and in the fall of 2010 photographed the peoples and land of Niamey, Niger in Africa and the lights and architecture of Paris, France.

 Experimenting with photography on and off for years, Patti Gail became serious in 2004 when she bought her first DSLR camera. She started reading everything she could find about photography and researched the work of hundreds of photographers all over the planet. Patti Gail has attended seminars of  well known photographers including George Lepp,  Bob Krist, Tony Sweet  and Bill Fortney and is inspired by photographers like Patrick DiFruscia, Marc Adamus and Blaize Stewart II. Her deep inspiration comes from the beauty around her in this natural world. Capturing the beauty that God has blessed us with is her passion. She stands in amazement at His handiwork every day of her life, and with an endless learning curve, she strives to improve her artistic endeavors daily.

 From the large and small creatures that inhabit it, to the majestic landscapes that define it, Patti Gail continues her quest to capture the light and all that it illuminates on the planet we call home.

 Patti Gail and her husband, Dwayne, still live near their Southport, North Carolina hometown.
