About Liz Bennefeld

I am a freelance writer and style editor with a love for photography. My husband and I, transplanted Minnesotans, now live in the Red River Valley of eastern North Dakota. I enjoy writing poems and short prose pieces and combining them with my photographs. At RedBubble.com you'll find some postcards, greeting cards, and Wall Art with my designs. Please let me know if you would like to purchase Red Bubble items, JPGs, or larger prints of any other of my photographs.
