Marisa S White
Marisa S White is best known for seamlessly stitching multiple photographs together, weaving her own personal narrative through surrealistic and fantastical imagery. Having grown up in Houston, Texas with The Menil Collection and the MFAH in her backyard, Marisa was heavily influenced by the Surrealists. She incorporates these dream-like scenes to express an idea or an emotion perhaps not so easily conveyed through traditional landscapes and realistic settings. However, her images speak to concepts not so foreign or mysterious, but to touch upon our own questions of life, love, fear, and the unknown.
Initially a mixed media collage artist, she received her BFA at the University of North Texas. Through her studies, she fell in love with the camera and further developed the use of photography in her work after a summer in Missoula, Montana at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography.
Marisa has received numerous accolades for her art, has exhibited across the US and in Europe and is collected internationally. Her work was recently featured at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California.
She currently resides in Colorado with her husband of 10+ years, whom she fondly refers to as Captain Awesome, and their two fur babies.
Robin Griggs Wood
Robin Griggs Wood is a photographer, multimedia artist, and creative mentor and our resident judge at the Photography Scavenger Hunt. Robin is adept at photography, compositing, post-processing and traditional media—including acrylic, oils, watercolor, inks and much more.

Rita Zietsma
Rita Zietsma is invited to judge as the winner of Round 33
Rita Zietsma is a photographer located in Burlington, ON. She specializes in all things portraiture – dance, personal branding, professional headshots, beauty and boudoir.
Rita began her career path as a high school teacher. She then went back to school herself to get her certificate in Graphic Design. Photography was always a part of her role as a designer. She began her own photography business as a side hustle in 2011. As her business grew she knew it was time to fully embrace entrepreneurship, and has been a full time photographer since 2017.
Rita has been a participant of the Scavenger Hunt since 2014. She attributes much of her growth as a creative and as a photographer to the scavenger hunt community and to pushing herself each and every hunt to learn new techniques in lighting and post production as she tackled THE LIST round, after round.
