Artist Statement
I’ve always been an intrepid experimenter with my photography, creating special effects in the camera and now in Photoshop. In my “Artful Images” series, I used Photoshop to work out a technique that creates a painterly look, with hints of lines that are reminiscent of a colored drawing. For my “Photo Fusion” photographs, though, I'm using Corel Painter to add realistic brush strokes to my photographs, which are then printed on canvas. I then paint on a textured overlay to add the dimension of oil paintinArticles about her and her work have appeared in After Capture, Color, Rangefinder, and American Cinematographer,magazines. I have appeared as a guest authority on CNN, Fox, and on local radio and cable TV. I hold honors from the Photographic Society of America and is in the Hall of Fame of the Westchester Photographic Society. In addition to photography, I also create artists' book, many of which have been featured in Bound and Lettered magazine.
