About Amy L. von Holzhausen

Amy L. von Holzhausen’s interests in travel, helping others, and the animal kingdom converge in her photographic practice. The emotional pull of these overlapping pursuits has driven her to explore five African nations, four Asian countries, Fiji, the Galapagos, Antarctica and more. Amy explains, “When given the honor to be within yards of a silverback male gorilla in the Bwindi Forest or stared down by a mother cheetah’s cold eyes in the Serengeti, it is impossible not to try to aid these noble creatures in some way.” It is with this conviction that Amy is setting aside her career as a successful graphic designer and art director to pursue nursing. With her studies nearly completed, Amy has resolved to apply her recently acquired training to developing nations and try to do some good, documenting her journeys along the way through photography.

The G2 Gallery is free and open to the public. Admission to special events, including artist receptions, is $5 at the door and will directly support environmental charities.
