Annie Marie Musselman

Vashon, Washington

Annie Marie Musselman is a Seattle based artist whose long-form documentary projects center on themes of care, kinship, and ecological interdependence. Her nuanced, artistic images documenting wildlife rehabilitation and sanctuary explore the intimate emotional terrain between humans and animals. She began using photography to communicate the sense of trust and presence she has seen in animals after she rescued an injured raven, an experience that changed her understanding of connections across species. She believes that recognizing our kinship with animals has the power to transform our lives, our society, and the planet.

Her photographs have been published in national magazines including The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Audubon, and Smithsonian. Her books Finding Trust and Wolf Haven have received international recognition for their ethical sensitivity and poetic depth. Her work has been chosen for solo and group exhibitions at the Alice Austen House Museum (NYC), Seattle Audubon Society, and the Festival du Regard (France). Additional exhibitions include the Museum of Glass (Tacoma), Hedreen Gallery (Seattle), Hartman Fine Art (Portland) and multiple shows at Photographic Center Northwest. Annie Marie has received support from the John Paul Getty Grant for Good Program, 4Culture, and the Pulitzer Center. She has delivered artist talks at Town Hall Seattle, the Frye Art Museum, and the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Her work is represented in Seattle by G. Gibson Projects (ggibsonprojects.com).
