Since 2012, Becky Field has been documenting the lives of immigrants and refugees in New Hampshire. Her project shows that while we have different backgrounds, we all have the same dreams for good jobs, a bright future for our children, and freedom to practice our traditions. Becky’s photographs have been honored by immigrant groups and arts organizations. Her project is being archived at the University of New Hampshire. Her first book (2015), Different Roots, Common Dreams: New Hampshire’s Cultural Diversity (pub. 2015), won two national awards. Her newest book, Finding Home: Portraits and Memories of New Hampshire Immigrants (pub. 2020) is a collection of 40 essays by immigrants about resettling in New Hampshire. Books are available at some libraries and also bookstores including the Toadstool Bookshops. Becky holds a Certificate in Photography from the New Hampshire Institute of Art, and studied photography at centers in the Northeast. In past work she was a federal research ecologist and university professor. Becky has a doctoral degree in wildlife ecology and lives in Concord, NH.
