“There’s a great deal to admire in the work of Jamie O’Halloran. Her calm voice seems to reach out from a deeply grounded life into a judicious consideration of the natural world and of our place in that world. It’s a voice which is immediately trustworthy: gentle, balanced, undeceived.” – Mark Roper
