Meet Tracy Halladay, a nature and wildlife photographer based in British Columbia, whose breathtaking images are rooted in resilience, recovery, and a deep love for the natural world.

After surviving four years on dialysis and receiving a life-saving kidney transplant, Tracey returned to the outdoors with a fresh vision, capturing everything from sweeping mountain landscapes to intimate details of feathers, frost, and flowing water.

Her photography is a visual meditation, inspiring viewers to slow down, reconnect with nature, and embrace the beauty in the quiet moments.

With features in international photo competitions, solo gallery shows, and recognition from the Kootenay Art Prize, Tracey’s story is as compelling as her images.

In this episode, we delve into her creative process, personal transformation, and how adversity has shaped her as an artist.
