Kate Ingmundson came to Boulder, Colorado in 1984 to attend graduate school in Communication Disorders at the University of Colorado; but in truth, she chose to attend the University when she saw the cover of the catalog. It featured a gorgeous photograph of the iconic Flatirons rock formations towering above the campus. Now she can see the Flatirons out of the window of her 10th floor apartment, with the weather and light changing moment to moment.

Inspired by that view, Kate bought a used Nikon D3300 and started studying photography in earnest. Many of her landscapes were shot out of that window.

Kate's art is influenced by years of mindfulness practice. Through photography, She hopes to encourage others to slow down and pay attention to small details, to enjoy simplicity, and to find beauty everywhere, even in the most ordinary places. She enjoys crawling around the communal gardens where she lives, wearing dirty green kneepads and elbow protectors, taking close-ups of plants and flowers, rain droplets and spider webs, and things we often pass by unless we slow down and look closely. Her landscapes are inspired by the Foothills of the Rockies around Boulder and the Indian Peaks Wilderness nearby.
