Here is a link to the web page announcing the award. There is a statement by the Juror, Hannah Frieser, as well as web versions of all of the images in the McCann Family series.

Karen was awarded a $2500 fellowship as the 2009 recipient of the Center for Photography at Woodstock’s Photographer’s Fellowship.

The award was made as part of the CPW’s annual gala. Karen won this fellowship based on her submission of 10 color photographs from her McCann Family series. Executive Director of the CPW, Ariel Shanberg, read Karen’s artist statement and then projected  the images for the audience of more than a hundred gathered for the Gala Auction.
