Ghost Ryder Marlene McChesney Web Site  United States

Marlene McChesney, a member of Cowboy Photographers and Artists International, was raised on a third generation family farm in West Central Illinois near the town of Gladstone, population 350. Marlene acquired an appreciation for good livestock almost by osmosis, as her eye for quality was passed from her Grandfather, to her Father and now resides within Marlene.

As a teenager Marlene worked beside her father whenever horses were required to work cattle. Marlene raised her daughter on the family farm as well and, in time, established her own herd of foundation quarter horse mares.

Today, Marlene is Herdsman for the family's custom calving operation. Her proximity to the tension-filled, relationship between cows, calves and horses sparked her interest in capturing it on film. Marlene's work style is one of perpetual motion, which is why most of Marlene's photographs were taken on the back of her horse.

I have been involved with nature photography for over 45 years. For 30 years, I sold prints at arts and craft shows, and also at galleries. I have won a number of prizes and awards, and my work has appeared in books, magazines and on my website.

I have three degrees, including a PhD, but none in photography or in art. I am largely self-taught, and I have worked at it for years. I still do. I am retired from an aerospace career, so now I can work full-time on landscape photography.
