Thanks for your help and understanding!

OMG!

The minute I saw the images I knew they were made of people, but it took me a long time to sort it out and see the individual parts. Funny how the eye and mind play tricks like that.

This is such beautiful and moving art! It is so sensual on so many levels! Amazing!

Her B&W images are very much in a style that is shown by our favorite art gallery, I feel like sending them her website.

Her art just makes me want to gush!

I'm sad to know that others have stolen her images to present as their own. I'm also sad that she has to be so protective of her images that I can't use one for my wallpaper image.

Thank you Bruce for sharing this!!!

She's right to be, if as a professional artist her images have been stolen and used unsanctioned by another person/ group.

I'm sure our mods will sort it or delete it - the Cellar is all about crediting artists and asking permission and making sure images are used respectfully.
