Welcome to the Ocean State! The smallest state in the country greets you with open arms. 

In my Driving in Providence collection, I share my experience of Providence through five artist books: Welcome to the Ocean State, serves as an introduction. Avery June Shaw stays in Rhode Island is documentation of my individual experience. Storefronts of Olneyville Square, a peek into the Olneyville neighborhood. 25 Neighborhoods in Providence, Rhode Island, through the windshield of a car. And lastly, A Demographic and Economic Study of Providence, Rhode Island looking at the big picture. How the various neighborhoods make up a grander, more complicated system.

Many thanks are given in this project. But of course, thank you to the city of Providence, for endless inspiration, for being a constant in times of instability, and for being my home. Thank you.
