1) The Image Transfer process allows me to soften the image by applying it to wet watercolor paper (140 lb., hot press 100% cotton rag). I can further alter the image by applying pigment to the surface using graphite, pastel, watercolor, and oil paint, individually or in combination.

2) The Emulsion Transfer process is very similar in technique, but uses a completely processed and dried photograph. The image layer is separated from the fiber base and can be stretched, folded, torn, and layered, as it is placed onto fine art paper. Pigments may be applied to the surface once it has cured.
