A junior at DU, Katy Owens lived in Russia until she was 5 when she moved to St. Louis, Mo., where she lived until moving to Colorado for college.

Pursuing a double major in studio art and journalism, she is especially passionate about photography and can often be found taking pictures of anything and everything around her. Her goal is to capture and share the wonder and beauty of the world through her art.

She has been a vegetarian for almost 3 years and loves running, swimming, biking and enjoying the beauty of nature.
