Victoria Mitchell's camera compositions teach us to liberate ourselves from the conventional rules of artistic expression. 

"The more you love music, the more music you love," said Abram Chasins, pianist and composer. His sentiment is brought to light vividly and artistically in Victoria Mitchell's new book, Rock Stars of the '80s and '90s! A Collector's Book of Memorabilia. Mitchell's art is not about what she wants to see but, rather, about what she wants you to see . . . about a significant and miraculous time in the evolution of music. Mitchell's book depicts some of the most famous bands and musicians from the '80s and '90s. Having always been a music lover, Mitchell found it almost effortless to capture camera essences of musicians such as Jon Butcher and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Climb on Victoria Mitchell's memorabilia bandwagon and enjoy the dazzling and nostalgic ride.
