“Coming from a fine art photography background, the past several years of only working

with the digital format has left me longing for a deeper connection to my true creative self.

Digital stops the creative process short and doesn’t allow for the longer more drawn out

tactile process that I love so much about photography.

This mirrors the current online social experience that I have where I don’t get to really see

the person I am communicating with and the relationship is very brief and empty. I have

spoken to many woman who have told me that social media tends to leave them sad and

longing for a deeper connection so I wanted to create a project that could heal that for

everyone involved and express that it’s okay to choose solitude over empty connections.

In this new project I reach out to women who I have only known from Facebook. I spend

time with them and get to know them as a photographer gets to know her subject and I

let them be who they are. I create an image, print it on Moab Moenkapi Kozo paper and

proceed to paint the surface with watercolors letting the colored water wash over the

image as my hand brushes various areas as I feel it needs it.

Each one is a truly unique piece of work.”
