With great sadness, we report the death of photographer Andrea Sharon on November 12, 2024. She was surrounded by friends and at peace.
Andrea had a full career as a ranger with the National Park Service. She learned about wildlife and developed her skill as a photographer. When she retired, she became a full-time professional photographer. Her favorite subjects were animals in their natural setting.
As recently as five years ago she went on a photo safari in Africa and came back
with stunning shots of birds and animals. She also loved to teach and consult, and
not long ago did a teaching trip to Alaska with the National Park Service.
These recent trips were all the more remarkable because they followed a diagnosis
of cancer. She went on with her life, as well as receiving courses of treatment, and
defied all estimates of survival by years.
Andrea was an active member of the EACA and also the Artistic License Gallery.
She always had a smile and shared her love of the natural world through her art. Her
friends and her community feel her absence.
