HOW I WORK...
The pieces below are examples of my art. I work using my own photography as well as vintage family photos. I occasionally borrow antique family photos from friends, and also find wonderful tintypes and cast offs at antique stores that fill in as characters in my stories.
The photographic processes I use are varied. From traditional black & white film, double exposures, darkroom alternative processes, daylight cyanotypes, to the newest high tech digital cameras and scanners.
I collage all the elements of each piece using traditional techniques as well as Adobe Photoshop. While working digitally, it is not uncommon to have over 50 layers in various states while editing. Once all layers are combined, I print the finished composition out on archival paper. I complete the piece by drawing in colored pencil. Because of these final details, all of my "paintings" are one of a kind mixed media works on paper.
