Artist: Daphne Clark ND

Daphne was born and raised in rural North Dakota only three miles from the Montana border. Her grandparents had a ranch 10 miles from her childhood home. She spent much of her adolescence at their ranch; chasing cows, building fences, milking cows, and helping check for spring calves.

Daphne received a bachelor's degree in biology in 2003 and has spent time since then working as an Environmental Health Practitioner, working to protect the area where she was raised. Over the years, she has watched the ranching life and outdoor places in North Dakota and Montana disappear.
