Introduction	Darlene is an artist whose work is predominately based in photography. Initially a reference source for drawing and painting, she soon began experimenting with different techniques within the medium itself. The love of photo/montage from her darkroom days drew her into digital when she was introduced to the computer as an art tool. Her affinity for old buildings and abandoned properties along with crows, ravens and blackbirds is apparent in the majority of her work. Gathering elements from her own images as well as characters from vintage photos she acquires at flea markets and antique shops, she blends them together forming new and often storytelling compositions. Darlene's work has been described as mysterious, moody, wistful, surreal and sometimes dark but always thought provoking.
