My photography book VERMONT: AN OUTSIDER'S INSIDE VIEW
captures the character and spirit of the people who inhabit
Vermont accompanied by images of the land and the special
places that shape their lives. My portraits include everyone
from the Governor to goat farmers, artists, mechanics,
waitresses, a supreme court justice, and activists. My intention
is to reveal that there are still places in America where people
know each other deeply, help each other freely, and are bound
to each other in heart, mind, and community. All photos were
taken by me over a four-year period; I wrote the text and
funded the entire project myself. There are over 200
photographs, printed in large format and bound in Verona, Italy.
This project represents everything that I am as an artist and
humanist; it is a true labor of love and a love letter to the people
and state of Vermont.
I am an award-winning fine art photographer, painter, and Emmy award winning production designer for film and television. I live in Los Angeles, where I was born, and have published an award-winning photography book titled VERMONT-AN OUTSIDER'S INSIDE VIEW.
