A short switch from doing ceramics. Just another way I keep really busy.

 

I love working with cyanotype because it combines science, art, and surprise—every print feels like a one-of-a-kind creation. For Party Pups, the vibrant blue tones and the unpredictable nature of the process perfectly capture the energy and playfulness of the dogs in the image. 

 

. The ability to experiment with digital negatives and the chemistry of light allows me to create images that feel both timeless and experimental, giving each piece its own unique personality. It’s a medium that pushes me to break boundaries while staying true to the tactile, hands-on nature of art.
