Artist Statement

“As children, our job is to play.  Through play, we discover the world around us by engaging in multi-sensory experiences.  On our path to adulthood, we tend to become submerged in the day-to-day demands of work and relationships and often lose sight of the joy of discovery.  I was smitten by the magic of photography the first time I set foot in the dark room.  Sometimes I take pleasure in capturing the moment for its form or color.  Other times I try to expand the boundaries of reality.  In recent years, I have stepped out from behind the lens to create mixed media pieces.  Returning to the multi-sensory experiences of youth, discovering a new technique with each piece…..what joy!” – Judith Rothenstein-Putzer
