Autorenporträt

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Pat Toth-Smith has an established reputation as a wildlife photographer with more than twenty years of professional experience. She is a leading master wildlife photographer whose bear and other wildlife photographs have sold in numerous markets, prestigious galleries and hundreds of fine art shows. A past featured artist in Wildlife Art magazine, she was a guest artist at the Ahwahnee Hotel Gallery in Yosemite National Park. Her work has been sold in Sequoia, Yosemite, and Kings Canyon National Parks. The concept for the book Wild Among Us, came out of Pats years of selling her fine art images in the West, primarily in California, Colorado, Nevada and Wyoming, and engaging her customer's reactions to her photographs and their accompanying stories. Her frightening wildlife encounters seem to amaze and enthrall her customers, and as a result many of her customers became collectors of her work. Pat became an award winning author when Wild Among Us: true adventures of a female photographer who stalks bears, wolves, mountain lions and other elusive wildlife won USA's best book award, a gold medal in the Living Now Awards and a bronze medal in the a e-Lit awards. In the summer of 2015, Pat was a guest on over 25 radio stations, including many NPR stations around the USA promoting her award winning book. In 2019, Pat appeared on Darlene Carmen Presents' Show to discuss her book and soon to be "new titles." Pat Toth-Smith grew up in New Jersey and moved to California in her late 20's and embarked on an adventurous and sometimes dangerous career photographing hard to find North American wildlife such as bears, wolves, cougars and other wildlife. Pat's statement, "I have always felt it was worse to never do something because I was afraid to do it, then to do it and fail. So I pushed myself to do what I love, My photographs and stories are meant to help reestablish a connection with nature/wildlife and maybe inspire others to get out into the wilderness more often. When photographing, I try to capture the animal's expressions with a bit of reverence and humor. Frequently, I am drawn to the overall aesthetic of a wildlife scene, not just the drama that may be occurring at its center. My focus is less about getting the action shot and more about making the wildlife feel comfortable in my presence. I try to convey the connection of the wildlife to its environment." Besides her continued success as a wildlife photographer/author she has become a featured guest speaker at conferences and educational events promoting "facing your fear".
