Freedman 2004		Artist's Biography Barbara Freedman had been a photographer for many years working in both black and white and color when she discovered the ability to go beyond the traditional darkroom into the digital darkroom. There she could combine images and collage them digitally in the computer. She began to work in layers using her photographs to build richly textured surfaces. She found ways to combine photographs with text and other material which led to a totally new way of seeing things. She created images which lent themselves to impressionistic renditions of the buildings museums. churches and synagogues she saw. Thru the use of layered techniques she is able to combine interior and exterior views of buildings and other scenes. Freedmans’s use of bold color and skillful stratification allows viewers to explore the many different layers of the cultures and heritages she is exploring.
