Vintage Process Photographs
I am a photographer and image maker who uses both historical and experimental processes to create my original prints. My interest in the cyanotype process began when I first saw the mid-19th-century botanical and marine prints of the English artist Anna Atkins, who is considered to be the first woman photographer.
I have been working with local organizations to share my process with students both young and old, with great results. I have enjoyed teaching classes in a variety of outdoor locales, including on the banks of the Snake River in Idaho and the Nooksack River in Washington state; inside a solar greenhouse in Boise; on the beach on the island of Hawai’i; and around the tidal flats of Puget Sound. I love the interaction between my students and the process.
