Since my teens I've longed to become the female Van Gogh, refusing to allow the fact that I can neither draw nor paint to be a draw-back. Rather than using a brush and paint to produce works of art, I use a camera and light to create painterly photographs. In the recent past to create my art, the images were all captured traditionally on film. Then having made the initial image, I set wildly about mistreating the film to get it to do things for which it definitely wasn't designed. At that time the processes used for the original capture and manipulation of my images were purely photographic in nature - no pixels or computers were harmed along the way! Now my stock pile of films and processing materials is rapidly dwindling and it's becoming difficult to replace them. The demand for digital technology has taken over the photographic world and most of the film types that I have found so wonderful to work with are no longer available. So the time has come to either adapt. While I will continue to use my beloved films for as long as the supplies last, I am learning new ways to create painterly photographs with the new technologies. Whether the original image is captured on film or digitally and manipulated manually or using a painting program each it is copied so it can be enlarged and printed as an archival giclee images. Each piece asks for its own presentation and sometimes a brush stroke texture is painted over the giclee to enhance the painterly look. The creation of each piece is always a joyful experience which hopefully ignites a spark in the viewer.
