Using the blistering West Texas sun and cyanotype, an alternative photographic process, I “tattoo” historic handwriting, vintage graphics, and botanical specimens into painted wood panels.  Compositions are rich in ephemera form early American history.  Primary documents used in my work come from the archives at Women’s Rights National Historical Park, American Antiquarian Society and Library of Congress.  Projects such as The Woman’s Bible by 19th century civil rights activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions in October 1843, by Anna Akins inspire my work.
