BIO

Pettit earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Minnesota, graduating cum laude in Art Education. After college Bev worked in fine art, technical and art education positions with a stint in teaching photography at a community college in California.

Deciding on photography as her artistic medium of choice came naturally when Bev moved to Hong Kong in 1991. Carrying a 35mm film camera was naturally compatible with her travel style as she backpacked the cities and back roads of Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, India and China. For the next six years she documented Asian culture for personal projects as well as magazines, HK tourism, commercial assignments and educational book publishers worldwide while working full-time as research print manager for a large American investment bank. In 1996 Pettit moved to London where she worked at the European headquarters for the bank for another three years.

She moved back to the US in 1999 to live in Northern Arizona. Today Pettit specializes in photographing horses, both domestic and wild.
