Annie Marie Musselman’s work is dramatically inspired by the human-animal connection. She believes that true kinship with animals can transform our lives for the better. After spending two years helping rehabilitate an injured raven, she became focused on transcending this experience for others in her art. Her award-winning books chronicle this subject, including Finding Trust (Kehrer Verlag-2013), Wolf Haven (Sasquatch Books-2016), and Lobos: A Mexican Wolf Family Returns To The Wild (Sasquatch Books-2018).
Musselman’s work has appeared on the covers of Audubon, Smithsonian, and Outside magazine and inside The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, National Geographic, and the New York Times among others.
Finding Trust received the German Photo Book award as well as one PDN”s selected books of the year.
Her work is represented by the Charles A. Hartman Gallery in Portland
