Donna uses a high-resolution flatbed scanner as her ‘studio camera’ and the fine detail it captures never ceases to amaze her. She records the close-up beauty of flowers, worn beached objects, and elements of nature that cross her path.
     Whether a single bloom or a ‘medley’ of treasures, the objects are placed directly on the scanner glass with the cover left open in a dark room. She builds depth and layers from foreground to background on the glass surface. Using a preview feature, she can see the image as it will be recorded and rearrange elements until ……. it’s just what she had imagined.
