Thank you for visiting Delicate Leaf Photography!

As an environmentalist, my goal is to explore and understand the wonderful complexities of the planet. As an artist, my goal is to visually capture the essence of the environment, to reveal hidden qualities of character and to better understand the world around us. A diversity of environmental portraits form a portfolio designed to provoke questions concerning identity, preservation and respect. I hope my photographs inspire you to learn more about the cultures and environments exhibited today!

About the Artist

(葉茜) Maggie graduated Magna Cum Laude from Ithaca College, where she majored in Photography and Environmental Science. For her first job after college, she worked as a photographer for National Geographic’s Story of God with Morgan Freeman series and scored an invitation to the Cannes Film Festival in France!

A versatile professional with multi-lingual capacity, her prior international assignments include posts in Madagascar, El Salvador, Saudi Arabia and Greenland. She expanded career paths and joined the Peace Corps, where she served as a Health Educator in Belize. There, she developed an interest in analyzing and documenting relations between environmental justice and racial disparities within the Q’eqchi Mayan village where she lived.

Based on the leadership skills and initiative she demonstrated, she was awarded the United States President’s Lifetime Achievement Award and two United States President’s Volunteer Service Awards in a White House ceremony hosted by President Biden.
