My art first received notice during the era of early experimentations with digital imaging and has been called an important voice in the development of a true digital aesthetic. I view myself as an alchemist, using digital, alternative process, and traditional photographic tools to delve into fundamental human issues. My work is literary and emotional, full of symbolism and multiple layers of meaning and my images have appeared in numerous publications on photography digital art. I’ve been a guest lecturer at many seminars and conferences, internationally exhibited and a part of museum, corporate and private collections. My work appears in the APERTURE monograph METAMORPHOSES: PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE ELECTRONIC AGE, WOMEN, ART AND TECHNOLOGY published by MIT press, and ART IN THE DIGITAL AGE edited by Bruce Wands, School of Visual Art, NYC.
