About the virtual exhibition
An outlier: a person or thing situated away from or detached from the main body or system.
There's nothing quite like Island living, experiencing a place separated from the normal hustle and bustle of life, surrounded by the ocean and offering a sense of peace and serenity not found on the mainland. Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard provide some of the most lavish backdrops for photographers, artists, and coastal admirers, luring thousands of visitors each year to catch a glimpse of its unparalleled tranquility, unique character, and salty fresh air.
In our Island Outliers show, we highlight four island residents - Bob Avakian of Martha's Vineyard and Cary Hazlegrove, Dan Lemaitre, and Wendy Mills of Nantucket. As true Islanders, they've dedicated their photographic careers to capturing the essence of the islands they inhabit and the beauty that draws in so many people to their shores. Whether detailing still lives of the tiny pieces that define the island's natural beauty, or capturing the sweeping landscapes and seascapes that show the light and power of its coastlines and untouched beaches or the energy of its roaring seas, these photographers show the inner pulse of these two famous islands and offer us all a chance to experience their charm.
With this unique and collaborative collection, we invite you to enjoy a glimpse into the Island life and a chance to get to know four very different photographers and the way they view the islands they call home.
