Veronica Hoffman (“Nicki”) graduated from Lewis & Clark College in the spring of 2008 with a bachelor’s in philosophy, though her coursework (like her curiosity) meandered through the departments, pausing anywhere from politics to physics, French to computer science, and – of course – art.
She began learning the art of the camera at age eight, when she took her father’s Kodak Instamatic to use at summer camp. Since then, her cameras have travelled with her through parts of her native Midwest, to school in the Shenandoah Valley and later Oregon, and overseas to Fiji, New Zealand, and Guatemala. She hopes to add parts of Europe and South America to the list.
