Artist Talk with Jim Westphalen

Photographer Jim Westphalen will join us at The Pitcher Inn, in the Brook Room, on May 11, 2023, for dinner and an artist talk.

Jim has always had an affinity for the built landscape; those patterns and features reflecting human occupation within the natural surroundings. His current body of work, entitled “Vanish,” is an ongoing narrative that speaks to the decay of iconic structures in rural America.

His May talk at the inn will focus on his chosen subject matter, photographic technique, and his path to becoming one of Vermont’s premier fine art photographers. The talk follows the screening of his documentary, “Vanish: Disappearing Icons of Rural America,” which premiered at the Town Hall Theater in Middlebury on April 8, 2023.

Jim will share examples of his work at the inn and guests will have the opportunity to ask questions and to enjoy dinner following his presentation.
