Beth Reiter Blanchard

Beth Reiter Blanchard, who has always lived by the motto ‘take another look,’ began taking snapshots at the age of eight. She waited thirty years before beginning to study the craft of photography. Her images are mostly collected from around her neighborhood, nearby towns and cities, and local natural areas. For her, they are natural, scenic portraits that enrich her connections with her everyday surroundings.

After a long career in public administration, she earned a Master of Arts in Spirituality and Spiritual Direction from Merrimack College, and has developed a curriculum centered on the spirituality of work for Merrimack's graduate spirituality program.
