About Artist

Lee Nordbye

Lee Nordbye is a landscape photographer, speaker, and teacher based in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada. An award-winning and published photographer, Lee is known for a bold photographic style that highlights the intimate details and nuances of the natural world. His elegant and soulful approach to photography is matched by a passion to challenge himself, explore wild places, and have fun while doing it. Because who ever said that dad jokes, belly laughs and chocolate don’t belong amongst the finer things in life? Artist Statement The intricacies of the natural world - textures, abstract reflections and shapes and interplay of light and shadow - provide a welcome contrast to the challenges of our personal lives and the chaotic world. Through my bold and distinctive stories of nature’s subtleties, I aim to evoke the same sense of fascination and calmness I experience when surrounded by nature. I want the viewer to enjoy a brief sense of respite, become curious and develop a kinship with nature.
