Emma Eckert

Artist + Photographer

Growing up in rural northern New Mexico, I was a wild child, running free on the 21 acres of high desert forest where my family settled. My early years were spent climbing the massive, ancient apricot tree to enjoy some of its plentiful fruit, playing in the small creek that bordered the property, and taking moonlit walks to cliffs overlooking prairies where coyotes chased their prey. It was here that I found my love of nature and where I began the lifelong hunt that is photography, chasing shadows and light.

Albuquerque, NM, is my current home base, where I write from the heart of the Land of Enchantment. I work as an artist and multimedia journalist, and make constant improvements to my urban homestead, shared with my husband and our two sons.

Since I was given my first diary at the age of 5, keeping a written account of events in my life has been an integral part of my being. This e-journal is an extension of my earlier written works, with the addition of photographs (all taken by me, unless otherwise noted).

This is my labor of love, exploring the micro- and macrocosms around and within us.
