Wildlife photographer at museum

Photographer and artist Kathleen Wille will be the guest speaker at February’s Werner Wildlife Study Series Thursday, Feb. 20, at 7 p.m.

Wille will speak on the art of wildlife photography, her work, and her adventures in the field during her presentation titled “In the Absence of Words: Visual Storytelling Through the Lens of Photographer, Kathleen Wille.”

A “fervent” traveler, Wille said photography often provided her with “a mindful and contemplative pause in the often frenetic pace of travel.” A longtime resident of Casper, Wille has three undergraduate degrees from the University of Montana, a graduate degree from Lesley University in integrating the arts in education, a seat in the inaugural Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Silkroad/Arts and Passion-Driven Learning team, and 30 years of teaching experience.

“In the Absence of Words: Visual Storytelling Through the Lens of Photographer, Kathleen Wille” is free and open to the public. The Werner Wildlife Museum is located off the Casper College campus at 405 E. 15th Street. For more information, call the museum at 307-235-2108 or email indiahayford@caspercollege.edu.
