Michelle Rick: Village Girl
This Peanut Portfolio Book includes one signed and numbered original photograph and one signed and numbered hardcover book, 40 pages, 18 color plates.
Village Girl is inspired by the people, the energy, the history, the peculiarities of each neighborhood, and shows that curiosity about a place doesn’t just exist for visitors and people who moved to the city as adults.
