A photography exhibition called Time Stands Still, with works by Juleann VanBelle, will hang at the Chilmark branch of the Bank of Martha’s Vineyard through Oct. 9. The opening reception is Friday, Sept. 25 from 4 to 6 p.m.
A year-round Islander for over 30 years, Ms. VanBelle is known for her work as a community activist and a registered nurse; she is now employed as the Aquinnah town nurse.
Taking up photography just three years ago, Ms. VanBelle takes on the underlying perception that “the Vineyard has changed.” Her images show that the Vineyard she fell in love with those many years ago is still here.
Two distinct subjects feature in the exhibit: expansive Island vistas and what she calls “RFD Martha’s Vineyard,” a compilation of rural roadside mailboxes as folk art that reflects the personality and adds to the character of the community.
Over the past several months, her photography has been featured by the Oak Bluffs Public Library, Sheriff’s Meadow Foundation, the Martha’s Vineyard Magazine and at the Agricultural Fair.
