About Amethel
Amethel Parel-Sewell is a multidisciplinary creative with more than 30 years of experience as an editor-in-chief, creative director, photography editor, photojournalist, multimedia producer, graphic designer, and educator. Her work flows at the intersection of storytelling, visual art, and education.
She currently serves as a Coordinator of the International Exhibition of Photography at the San Diego County Fair, the nation’s largest and longest-running juried print exhibition. With her passion for teaching, she leads the exhibition’s robust educational program. Prior to this role, she contributed as both a judge and speaker.

Rooted in community, she founded Light Chasers, a vibrant San Diego–based photography collective that hosts competitions, workshops, exhibitions, and the best potlucks — all designed to light a path for learning, connection, and growth.
When she’s not mentoring creatives or developing educational content, she’s likely on the road with her husband and their beloved campervan, chasing moonrises and fleeting light.
