Wanda was born in Vancouver, B.C. and raised in West Vancouver. Her parents, George and Pat Barton, instilled in Wanda a sense of wonder about nature. Wanda’s passon for wildlife came from family trips on coastal waterways in a boat built by her father. With her two brothers, she explored many places in British Columbia through camping and hiking. She has planned expeditions for her company KEAY PHOTO ENTERPRISES to travel to remote parts of Canada, United States, Africa, and Ecuador to film wildlife. Wanda is the author of three books titled “The Wild Life of Bill Keay” (1991), “Walk on the Wild Side” (2011), and a children’s book “Through a Wild Lens” (2018). Wanda tells of the exciting adventure which resulted in being stranded on the frozen ocean near northern Baffin Island with their Inuit guide frantically trying to restart a broken skidoo just meters away from a polar bear!!! Wanda and Bill live in Nanaimo B.C. Exhibitions of their work have hung in prestigious galleries and a selection toured the country in the “Best of Canadian Bird Photography” co-sponsodred by the National Museum of Natural Science and the Canadian Nature Federation. Wanda and Bill were asked to exhibit their photographs for Prince Philip at a World Wildlife Fund dinner in Vancouver some years back. Wanda has always believed that our next generation will need this passion to save wildlife and wild places. She has donated her time in the past through educational presentations
