Thelma (Stevens) Pepper, who was born in Kingston, Nova Scotia, graduated from Acadia University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. She later earned her Masters of Science degree in Botany from McGill University where she met her husband Jim Pepper. Although Thelma had the biology and botany degree, she shared a love and passion for photography with her father and grandfather, who were amateur photographers. But it wasn’t until 1986 that she presented her first gallery.
