     I liked the artist Patri Feher. She is a self taught photo artist and a gardener. I was really drawn to the vibrancy and beautiful colors in the pictures of her work. Patri Feher has been trying many different photographic mediums for over 30 years. She wrote a manual called "Adventures in Blueprinting" about the cyanotype process. She was chosen by the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City in 1987. There, she showed photographic designs on fabric and called it 'wearable photography. Her work is still there today in their permanent design lab collection. She doesn't have any profound degrees or awards and she doesn't exhibit her work extensively either. The early 1990s was when the exploration of digital printmaking began. Patri Feher uses digital camera images and digitized botanical scannography. She captures these live 3-d objects with a large flatbed scanner as if it were a camera. Most of the flowers in her pieces are all grown by her in her garden. There were some instances where she would take flowers from her friends or neighbors, wild meadows, seashores, and the woods of southern New England.
