ALISON GRADUATED from Smith College in 1975, came to the Vineyard for the summer, and never left. If you were to name the two most important places in Alison’s life, it’d be Smith, and Martha’s Vineyard. Here is a short article about Alison in the Smith Alumnae Quarterly that puts both places together, and offers a little perspective on her journey since college.
Favorite (humbling) quote:
“Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Stan Grossfeld has said that ‘she is to the Vineyard what Georgia O’Keeffe is to the American Southwest.’ ”
Hi Alison. My daughter is a sophomore at Smith. She has been accepted as an intern at the Art Museum on the island. We have been encouraged to seek out alumni for suggestions. She is a musician majoring in English w concentration in archival studies minoring in Arabic. Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated. Barbarann ONeil.
Hi Barbarann – I took your phone number and your daughter’s name off the post for privacy reasons. I’m not sure what you’re asking – feel free to call the gallery during the week, and ask for Alison or me (I went to Smith too), and we’ll try to answer your questions. – Sue
