Digital photography/photographic art is currently her main focus... "I have a strong focus on capturing the beauty and depth of nature and its surrounding elements and the ambiance of city living through digital photography sometimes combining realism with an impressionistic or abstract style in an evolved 'mixed media' art form... I prefer 'mixed media' instead of 'manipulation' since the artwork uses two mediums: digital photography + photographic art techniques using special software. The image is 'manipulated,' but in a way similar to that of applying paint in a particular style, or placing materials on canvas or other surfaces. When I create the artwork the whole image is important including the mood and texture it projects and often includes how the image is reproduced. I incorporate printing on textured paper or canvas to provide this dimensional aspect and
feel/mood to my artwork. Sometimes my art goes beyond photography and includes digital paintings or sketching. I show and sell privately and on the internet and have, thus far, seven public showings of some of my work in Chicago, IL (including the Palette & Chisel) and recently in Shoreline, WA."
