When you walk into an art gallery on Martha’s Vineyard you might see a painting of a lighthouse. Maybe two… Or ten. Along with many other classic paintings of island landscapes. What you won’t see in those galleries is Richard Limber’s art, but not for lack of trying. His work is provocative, even considered grotesque by some.

You can see some of Limber's work here.

This piece came to us from our production partners at Atlantic Public Media through their media training program, The Transom Story Workshop in Woods Hole. Tanner is a graduate of the workshop. You can find out more about that program at www.transom.org.
