This book teaches the reader to think of a photograph as a canvas for a wide range of artistic manipulation and coloring techniques. Once upon a time, you hesitated to even take scissors to a photo (even an imperfect one) because if you lost its negative, you’d also lose that moment in time forever. In this day of digital images and photo printers for the home computer, photographs are easily duplicated, so you never have to be concerned about preserving printed photos. You can cut, color, collage, and camouflage to your heart’s content. The photo is now an art medium that can be altered physically or digitally to create all kinds of effects.
I am a South Dakota native, visual arts educator, artist, photographer, and the author of Image Art Workshop, published by Creative Publishing international, Glorious Glue, Art with Adhesives, published by J. W. Walch, Can We Eat the Art? (Incentive Publications) and I co-authored the Complete Photo Guide to Creative Painting (CPi). I also wrote The King of Corn, a biography published by Prairie Home Press. My articles have appeared in Arts & Activities, the nation's leading art education magazine where I'm a Contributing Editor, as well as in School Arts, Instructor, Teaching Today, and many more periodicals.
In 2012 Stackpole Books will publish my Creating Decorative Papers, as well as a book I co-authored called Painting in Mixed Media.
I present and facilitate visual arts workshops, too! I live on a horse farm(Arabians) with my husband, three beloved dogs, and two very fat cats.
