The artist and her cameras are world adventurers. Anything visually interesting is prey for the artist to photograph; not as a record, but as a statement.  Each print has its own life or story, which is not always obvious to the observer.  My prints are all dry point/transfers on rag paper. After a matrix is made of my image, it is put on laser transfers, then heat transferred to rag paper.
