Shreve Stockton is an author and photographer known for her adventurous spirit and deep connection to rural Wyoming. Her first book, a health guide and cookbook, was published in 2005. She later gained recognition for her creative nonfiction, earning the 2020 Wyoming Arts Council Writing Fellowship. Stockton's work often reflects her unconventional lifestyle and the natural world surrounding her.
After initially planning to return to New York City in 2005, Stockton's life took a dramatic turn when she passed through Wyoming and decided to stay. She now resides in a remote town of 300 people, where daily life includes tending to her "Farmily" - a menagerie of cows, bulls, cats, dogs, horses, honeybees, and even a coyote. Her writing captures the rhythms of ranch life and the beauty of the American West, blending personal narrative with vivid observations of the land and its creatures.
Stockton's diverse experiences, including a solo cross-country Vespa trip, inform her creative perspective. Her photography and writing have documented her unique journey from urban environments to the rugged Wyoming wilderness, where she continues to draw inspiration from her surroundings and the animals she cares for.
