While in France, I have been working with a combination of photography and painting. Some are photo transfers, using a medium, that I then paint into and others are photos that I manipulate with paint and other mediums. They each have a different way of portraying the image — one more ethereal and the other more dreamy and impressionistic. Many of the photo transfers are mounted on panel, whereas the painted photos are all framed. When in France, I am forced to work in a smaller format due to the size of my studio. I have enjoyed the challenge, which has helped me to find more creative pathways. I have used the beautiful area in France where I live in the summer (and sometimes over the Christmas holidays) as my muse. It has provided unlimited inspiration.
