JODY VALENTINE

I have studied painting and photography for most of my life and worked extensively with the Polaroid transfer process for many years. After peel-apart Polaroid film was discontinued, I discovered the DASS image transfer process and was instantly thrilled with the possibilities.  Like Polaroid, the DASS image transfer process is literally hands-on photo printing.  The process itself lends atmosphere and mood to a photograph or mixed-media piece.  You can transfer to many different surfaces, not just plain white paper.  You can combine your transfers with paint, texture, and even other transfers for endless creative possibilities.
