Ewen works by day as Director of Community Engagement for the Dorothea Dix Park Conservancy and spends her nights using her voice as a writer and an advocate. “The moment I met Dare Coulter, I knew she was someone to watch. Her talent and energy are unparalleled, and she has a gift to make all who meet her feel special. I love how she uses art both to spread joy and to share an important message about reframing our own perceptions and misperceptions.”

His work has been published in ARCHITECT Magazine, Architectural Digest, Dwell, Domino, USA Today and bon appétit. “It was an honor to have the opportunity to photograph North Carolina’s First Lady and the Governor’s Mansion all decked out for the holidays. I found myself imagining what being in the house would have been like at the turn of the century… I’m sure they threw a good holiday party!” Courtesy contributors

P HOTO G R A P HE R A Raleigh-based photojournalist, Queeney is usually exploring the state for clients like The New York Times and The Washington Post, between fits of breakfast food, bike rides and dog hugs. This month he got to explore every patch of light in Raleigh’s new Union Station while photographing the moving story about Raleigh tech entrepreneur Brooks Bell and her campaign to fight colon cancer. “Hearing Brooks’ story was incredible on its own, but I was also struck by how much of an impact she’s already had in peoples’ lives. Awareness is one of the best tools in the battle of prevention and it’s readily apparent that her voice is going to go a long way.”
LIZA ROBERTS / W R I TE R Roberts is a longtime journalist and the founding editor of WALTER magazine. She was inspired this month to write about technology entrepreneur and nonprofit founder Brooks Bell, whose courage, enthusiasm and ingenuity know no bounds. Roberts is currently writing a book about the art of North Carolina for UNC Press. You can follow her reporting on Instagram at @theartofthestate.
