Bass grew up in Wilton and on Sugarloaf Mountain. She and her family lived in Hampden from 1987 to 2012, spending weekends, vacations and summers at Sugarloaf. They are now full-time residents of Carrabassett Valley. A graduate of Middlebury College in Vermont, she earned master’s degrees in Marine Environmental Sciences, Public Policy and Management and an MEd in Instructional Technology. She has two grown daughters.
“My career and photography have intertwined,” Bass said. “I started taking pictures with a Brownie camera as a child. My enjoyment of nature, especially of water, led me into a career in oceanography, limnology, water quality and resource management and environmental education. I use my photos to create educational material, in addition to capturing my daughters as they grow, and to create artistic photography. I especially enjoy macro photography. Many of my photographs were taken at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. Many of my other photographic works were taken at Sugarloaf, Baxter State Park, the Boothbay Region and in the Galapagos Islands.”
Bass is a member of the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens Camera Club in Boothbay and the Eastern Maine Camera Club in Bangor.
