Gretje's passion for people, the Arts and the human condition has fueled her photographic journey for more than 25 years. She has photographed hundreds of Canadian and U.S. artists and business executives, has been published in more than 50 international magazines, and has shown her work in one-woman exhibitions across Canada and the Eastern United States.
Her recent project, Confronting Cancer: Images of Strength and Hope, highlights the strength and optimism shared by many people undergoing cancer treatment. 'Gay Dads and their Kids' shows the warmth and commitment of alternative families. She has documented galas that included Stevie Wonder, Elton John and the King and Queen of Sweden, and photographed productions of Law & Order, award-winning films Intermezzo and Palookaville, plus hundreds of symphony and theatrical performances. Her portraits of prominent cinematographers have appeared in international full-page color ads for Kodak motion picture film. She was the only media photographer permitted to document the making of the United Nations 50th Anniversary portrait of 186 diplomats.
She has two grown children and lives with her husband in Dedham, where she runs a portrait studio.
