2025 Artist: Daniela Stewart

As Arts Marathon artists we will send a different example of our creative process and work to everyone who sponsors us, five days per week during April. We invite our friends, family, colleagues and anyone else who cares about art and wants to support Bridge to Rutland’s important work to sponsor us. Together we will help welcome new Americans who, in turn, will add immeasurably to our communities.

Daniela‘s Arts Marathon Goal

I will be offering my sponsors a unique glimpse into my recent journey through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam by sharing both "straight-out-of-camera" and edited photographs. This will provide an inside look at my creative process—how I capture a moment and how I refine it to bring out its full depth and emotion. Beyond the images themselves, I want to transport my audience into the landscapes, streets, and lives I encountered, telling the stories behind each shot. From the serene beauty of ancient temples to the vibrant energy of bustling markets, I hope to offer a deeper connection to the people and places I photographed.

Daniela‘s Background

My passion for photography began in childhood, and over the years, I’ve taken well over 100,000 snapshots—capturing people, landscapes, animals, and moments both ordinary and extraordinary. I have been fortunate to travel extensively across Europe, Latin America, and Asia, immersing myself in diverse cultures and capturing the essence of people and places through my lens.

My greatest passion lies in landscapes and travel photography, capturing the beauty and spirit of the world. As a volunteer for a variety of humanitarian causes, including volunteering with refugees at the AZ/ Mexico border, I am honored to have been invited again to contribute my work to such a meaningful cause. I love it when my work sparks conversations, creating images that make people pause, reflect, and feel. Every story matters, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share mine while supporting others on their journey.
