JUROR: Lee Anne White

Lee Anne White is a fine art photographer with a deep love for landscapes. She teaches photography and creativity workshops around the country, including at Maine Media, the Chicago Botanic Garden, and on Amelia Island. A former editor-in-chief of Fine Gardening, she’s also written and photographed many books and articles on garden design and landscape architecture. Her work has been featured in magazines like Sunset and Better Homes and Gardens. Lee Anne holds degrees in creative studies and journalism.

"Quiet places call to me. I find them in the desert, by the sea, atop mountains, on foggy mornings, in gardens and at historic sites where voices from the past whisper their stories. I am drawn to contrasts: the natural and designed, light and shadow, open and closed, inside and out, smooth and textured, sharp and blurred. I have an affinity for bold-foliage plants, found objects, traditional utilitarian crafts and vintage tools. I want to know the history of the land—how it has been shaped by humans and how it has shaped us in return. And I am infinitely curious about  the creative process, creative people and their creative practices." -Lee Anne White
