Inga was born in Richmond, VA and graduated from the University of Richmond in 1994. She hiked the Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango and then worked for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation as an environmental educator. She received her MFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, in 1997. She taught at the Art Institute of Colorado in Denver from 1997 to 2002. Inga came aboard Trident Charters in 2002, but found that her teaching hobby was getting in the way of her deck-handing career. Her first yellowfin tuna weighed 150.1#, but it’s not her biggest. While decking on the KRAKEN, she also managed to slip in teaching art classes at both UNO and Xavier, as well as continuing her own personal artwork. Check out some of her work here and see her web page, www.ingaworks.org, for a complete listing.
