About Artist

Teresa Golden

I have had an interest in photography since I was a young girl. However, after settling in the wildlife-rich environment of the Gunnison Valley, I turned my lifelong hobby into a professional business. My primary focus is Action-Wildlife. I find it exhilarating to chase eagles up and down the riverways and see them swoop a trout from the rushing waters or see osprey or hawks engaging in aerial mating displays. I love photographing bighorn sheep, mountain goats, pronghorn, moose, elk, deer and bear grazing across a sage meadow or charging up a mountain slope. I enjoy photographing the smaller critters, also. Seeing a pika or marmot emerge from their den and warm themselves on the rocks is fun. The rabbits, squirrels, and butterflies fill the summer meadows of my alpine home. With a strong spiritual connection to the Sacred Divine, I am inspired to use my photography to present the precious Living World that we inhabit. My current project is introducing the Greater Gunnison Area as a proposal for a New National Park. Blue Mesa Reservoir is the largest body of water in Colorado. It was created in 1965. It is a special place where people and wildlife have coexisted for many years. Blue Mesa National Park would be a preeminent new park where diverse and abundant wildlife would be protected for generations to come; while enhancing recreational areas for people to enjoy. Blue Mesa National Park would further protect the endangered Gunnison Sage Grouse that calls our unique environment its home. Blue Mesa National Park would preserve thousands of acres of habitat for over 400 different species of wildlife. Blue Mesa National Park would consolidate the varied state wildlife viewing areas, BLM land, West Elk Wilderness and the 43,000 acres around the Blue Mesa Reservoir called Curecanti National Recreation Area into one Beautiful Blue Mesa National Park. It would be adjacent to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park further downstream. The time is ripe to Protect and Enhance a true National Treasure for all to enjoy.
