Join us for a virtual author talk!

You’re invited to join us for an hour online with New York Times bestselling author and award-winning photographer Jamie Beck as she talks about her book An American in Provence: Art, Life, and Photography. An American in Provence is a beautiful collection of exquisite portrait, scenic, and still-life photography. Looking to slow down from her fast-paced life in New York City, Beck embarked on a one-year getaway to Provence. One year, turning into five, Beck moved to the French countryside, documenting her life as “An American in Provence.” Equal parts art book, travel diary, memoir, and cookbook, An American in Provence transports you to the South of France.
