I didn’t see any reference to her on RFF so thought I would highlight her here. I happened to see her mentioned on another forum. I wasn’t aware of her.

Amazing portrait photographer.

Remarkable work, and unknown to me (I'm ashamed to say)! Thanks for sharing this.

I haven't come across her work either. Great portraits. So many good artists out there waiting to be discovered.

Interesting, I never heard of her work.

I hadn't heard of her either. For those interested, you'll also find her work and a number of recent interviews on YouTube. Cheers, OtL

That is a great story. I'm glad you found and linked it to us here.

It's been a very long time, but I've had the pleasure of seeing two exhibitions of her work - the first 8x10 contact prints, gold-toned on POP, and the second color enlargements:
