The works on exhibit evolved from photographs Stern took on her travels far and near, including Israel, China, and the Berkshires.  Stern’s creative process often begins with the computer, using digital processes to manipulate and transform photos.  The resulting images then become the point of departure for “unique prints” combining digital and traditional printmaking methods.



Stern then continues the creative processing of the imagery into paintings, teasing an even more abstract and expressionist image from the prints as the source becomes even less recognizable. It is this process of starting with a photograph of a real object or place and transforming it until it becomes something else that she finds fascinating and challenging.
