What Readers Are Saying
“Carolyn thank you so much for your book, it is fantastic! The photography is beautiful and I loved each write-up about the artists. This book has extra special meaning because it has a chapter and dedication to Gina. That alone made this an exceptional gift. Thank you with all my heart.”

“This week’s Friday review is of local interest but deserves general attention. It’s a collection of amazing murals all over the city of Burlington, VT. It will introduce you to a whole cadre of new artists, and brighten your appreciation of public art. Many of these murals, for a range of reasons, no longer exist. So there’s an ephemeral quality that makes the art poignant. Artfully curated, photographed, and produced by Carolyn Bates.”
