Veralli's fine art photography on permanent display at NRG

Burlington, VT - March 27, 2006 - Amalia Veralli, a Warren Vermont photographer, has recently completed an installation of her work at NRG Systems in Hinesburg VT. NRG Systems is a global leader in wind energy assessment, and one of only four industrial facilities in the world to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold level certification.
"Amalia's photos are breathtaking! They drew me in the moment I saw her work," exclaimed Jan Blittersdorf, President/CEO, NRG Systems, Inc. "She achieves a level of color, clarity and detail rarely seen in nature photos. These photos are a glorious addition to our workplace environment, adding a punch of color, and lots of interest from our employees and visitors."
In keeping with their commitment to provide a work environment that improves the quality of their employees' lives, NRG offered employees an opportunity to participate in choosing the photographs for display in the various departments.
"We are fortunate to have talented Vermont artists and photographers to choose from in decorating our workspace. I'm so happy to have Amalia's work as part of NRG," continued Blittersdorf.
A successful and creative potter in her past life, Amalia is emerging as a force in the world of photography. Amalia Veralli has a distinct creative style in her photography, and in her functional and decorative pottery. She owned and operated Warren Village Pottery for more than 25 years, closing in July 2005 to pursue her career as a professional fine art photographer.
Her work is in private collections throughout the northeast and can be seen at Artisan's Gallery and Lee Parrish Gallery in Waitsfield, VT, and School House Market in Warren, VT. Amalia recently donated framed prints for permanent display in the lobby of the newly constructed Mad River Valley Health Center in Waitsfield.
Amalia began her exploration in photography while on a trip to Europe working for a student travel organization after college. Originally, Amalia's concentration was black and white photography and printmaking in her darkroom. After many years as a successful potter and working with black & white photography, Amalia turned her creative energies to the art of color photography.
In 2004, Day Spring, a subsidiary of Hallmark Publishing, selected a collection of prints from her portfolio of flower photographs for one of their calendars entitled "Expressions of His Love."
Amalia's success has been notable in Vermont as well. In 2004 and 2005, she won several blue and red ribbons for her portrait and illustrative photography in the Annual Photography Competition of the Vermont Professional Photographers Association. She has also been one of five winners in the well-known Waitsfield Vermont Round Barn's annual photography show. Amalia has also shown her work at the T.W. Wood Art Gallery in Montpelier, VT.
A native New Yorker, Amalia Veralli has called Vermont her home for the past 30 years. Her photographic journey includes study at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and the University of Vermont. Veralli is a member of the Vermont Professional Photographers and Christians in Photojournalism.
