Fleur Weymouth's photographs and paintings have appeared in more than 31 solo and group exhibitions from New York to Hawai'i. In these 88 color photographs, Weymouth literally opens our eyes to a world of transcendence with bold fronds, germinal seed pods and light-suffused roses. Whether her subjects are celebrated artists and writers from the Monadnock Region in New Hampshire or images of Italy, British Columbia, Sanibel Island and lei festooned Hawaiians, invariably they are an integral part of nature. Padma Hejmadi writes in her Foreword to Fleur Weymouth Photographs, "This is a joyous, inclusive and celebratory art--from an artist who reveres the simple without ever losing her own complexity." Weymouth began photographing at age eight in New England where she lived most of her adult life. In New Hampshire, her work to protect some of the beauty   she photographed led her to write the legislative bill and eventual passage of the 1971 Scenic Roads law that preserves choice corridors of the countryside. The law continues as a landmark achievement. Weymouth now lives in Hawai'i and has traveled far and wide from there since 1987--always with her camera. In Fleur Weymouth Photographs, her images are displayed free and clear of words. In "Notes on the Plates" at the back of the book, she writes of circumstances that led to individual photographs and, if pertinent, what camera she used. At one point, she writes: "If we find a form of work we love, we can go deeply." And, of course, that's a reason this collection is the perfect gift.
