She has been a member of the Umbrella Center for the Arts in Concord for 35 years and now lives in Carlisle, Massachusetts where she continues to photograph and walk and swim with her dog Lucy.
“I have been making images for almost 55 years. I have explored many facets of photography from traditional darkroom work to digital imaging and alternative processes. My work is autobiographical, concentrating on self-portraiture, family imagery and the land around me. At the moment I am concentrating on transfer imagery. I love this hands-on process. Every piece is unique. After printing the image onto a special film and spreading the transfer medium onto printmaking paper. I use a paint roller to transfer the image onto the paper. When I lift off the film to see the image, it is always a surprise. ”
