Brenda Pike Photography
Brenda Pike has always been attracted to art in all its forms.  She has been fascinated by the way that photographers can stop a scene so that we can focus on one subject.

Brenda states, "I never took a picture with an SLR camera until I was 30 years old.  A friend loaned me his camera to take on a vacation to Mexico.  I was sure that I would not be able to use it.  I remembered the hours it took my Dad to take pictures when I was small.  However, after a few brief instructions I did take the camera with me. I really didn’t know at the time that I had an eye for photography, but the pictures that I took on that trip remain some of my personal favorites."

"I continue to carry that early talent for seeing as well as a need for constant exploration.  I feel this strongly when I look through my camera lens.  I see an image that leaves me breathless at times.  Visual images are strong teachers and can convey ideas that help us along life’s journey.  Sometimes I feel compelled to write poems about what I see in the pictures that I create."

"With the advent of digital technology I have now gone digital.  I use my scanner and the Photoshop program to further enhance the images I capture.  I love the look that backlighting, on a computer screen gives to an image.  I love to expand my ideas with this technology and I hope that what I do inspires others toward their own unique creativity."

​"
Discovering abilities, that I didn’t know I had, has taught me that each of us has talents exhibited in different ways; we each have our unique gifts…our unique art.  We can turn our attention toward them, focus on 
them, allow our gifts to capture our hearts and use these abilities to make a difference. I believe our creative expressions make us different and yet can help ​us to understand the differences in each other.  It is with these ideas in mind that I express my gifts."

"I’ve spent more than 30 years fine-tuning my own creativity.  In addition to photography, I have been a professional teacher, a singer, a jewelry designer, and corporate marketing manager. I have a BS in Music Education and a Masters in Human Behavior."
