“Alberta” is a portrait based on Alberta Virginia Scott. When I first came across an image of Alberta, she struck me as someone who would quietly go on doing what she feels is right, even if nobody noticed, and even if she had to work against forces trying to hold her back.

Moving forward with quiet dignity is all we can do sometimes, and sometimes it is even the best thing we can do.
