Carrie Grant is a widely respected professional photographer and filmmaker who has lived on California's North Coast since 1978. As well as exhibiting in local galleries, her credits include the BBC TV and Discovery Education. She is a grant writer and graphics designer for organizations dedicated to the arts and preservation of the environment, and also works as an event and professional organizer.

Carrie was a founder and has served on the Board of Directors of the North Coast Regional Land Trust. She currently serves as Trustee and administrator to the Ingrid Nickelsen Trust, providing annual grants to women artists.

Carrie's influences for her work come from four key, interrelated sources: her long term residency in Humboldt County; her deep love, familiarity and conviction to preserving the remaining wildlands of the North Coast; her integration with and support of the arts community; and her professional photography career of documenting land and people.
