As an illustrated novelette, Seasons
is a tender story of one woman’s journey
through the seasons of life.
It combines unique,
thought-provoking illustrations,
portraying various life events that have
happened to you,
someone you know
or
someone you will know.
Sometimes life prepares us
for what is ahead,
and sometimes it doesn’t.
Even when we may “see it coming,”
we are still often shocked or amazed
at where we are
and
who we’ve become.
At each new junction of our lives,
with each new season,
we often wonder,
How did I get here?
The illustrations in this book are made from Polaroid transfers. Each image begins as a 35mm slide that is transferred to Polaroid film. The negative of each photo is rolled onto watercolor paper and developed and processed. After it is dry, the image is hand-colored with pastels, watercolors, and/or watercolor pencils. It is then digitally scanned into the computer for fine-tuning. This technique offers an ethereal quality to each image and a dream-like world in which to immerse yourself.
Seasons: One Woman’s Journey is the recipient of the Benjamin Franklin Silver Award.
