Kay Hendrickson is a freelance photographer who has loved and photographed the Antelope Valley in California for over forty years.  She is well known for her wildflower photographs, which have appeared on the covers of numerous publications.  In addition, Kay's photography has also won several first place awards in the California Poppy Festival International Wildflower Contest.  Her work has been displayed at the Ansel Adams gift shop in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  One of Kay's photos was featured on the cover of The Palmdale News . Her technically proficient photographic style blends beautifully with her artistic eye to create colorful and compelling works of art. The energy and drama of her photographs are frequently used by advertisers to represent and promote the Antelope Valley. "There is a definite thrill when Spring arrives and the new growth and rebirth of desert plants are seen.  It is the natural world at its best." Kay's hope is that her photographs will help preserve the beauty of the desert by encouraging all of us to realize that we must take action and  make a conscious effort to save the environment for the enjoyment and education of future generations.
