Bev Pettit

I am a mother, traveler, lover of nature and animals, and a fine art photographer specializing in equine and Western photography. I have traveled throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico photographing wild horses in their natural habitats. Living in Arizona puts me in close proximity to some of the largest working ranches in the West, where I have had the honor of spending time photographing ranch life.
My work has received international honors in the art community, including the Siena International Photo Awards, Moscow International Photo Awards, Gold Award at the PX3 Paris International Photo Awards, and the Tokyo International Photo Awards. I have been awarded #1 Black & White Photographer in the United States 2021 and #3 Black & White Photographer 2021 in the World by One Eyeland. One Eyeland B&W Awards.
My work has been collected worldwide. I enjoy collaborating with Interior Designers on projects both large and small for the hospitality industry or for private collectors.
