Linda Dufurrena photographs all aspects of life in her desert
corner of Nevada. She finds her subject matter in the landscape,
and in the ever-changing patterns of the desert atmosphere. She photographs the
creatures who inhabit the wild spaces, and the men and women who live and work
there. Her vision of the world is translated into photographic image in her
workshop at the Dufurrena ranch northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada.
Dufurrena’s work hangs in
the Nevada State Legislature, hotels such as John Ascuaga’s Nugget and the
Carson Valley Inn (more than 2000 photos) and professional buildings in the
Truckee Meadows, as well as numerous private collections.
