Saja is an artist and photographer based in Beckley, WV—Appalachian born and raised. Her work in alternative and darkroom photography explores fleeting moments of light through a dream-like lens. As an AmeriCorps VISTA, she is now bridging her creative practice with conservation work, learning about the ecology of Appalachia and how to protect the land that has shaped her. Her path is a marriage of art and stewardship—telling stories while working to preserve the landscapes they come from.
