All photographs are archivally mounted and matted on fiber-based paper by the artist in her personal darkroom. The photographs are archivally processed, mounted and matted with 100% rag board.
Hand-colored Gelatin Silver Prints
The color works are original black and white gelatin silver prints on fiber based paper. The photographs are archivally processed in the artist's darkroom. Colored pencil is applied over the photographs. Each print is original and one of a kind. The artist recommends that this or any other artwork be kept from ultra-violet light.
Pigmented Ink Jet Prints
Pigmented ink jet prints are printed from a high resolution scan of the original negative. They are printed on archival paper with Ultrachrome pigmented inks, which are light-fast. An Epson Sylus Professional 9600 printer is used. A high quality Pigmented ink jet print is widely embraced by major museums, galleries, publishers and artists.
