Summary
"Saugatuck and Douglas are known to almost everyone in Michigan and many visitors from Chicagoland and neighboring states as quaint artist communities that are home to shops, galleries, B&Bs, and interesting establishments such as Hoopdee Scootee, Loaf and Mug, Kilwin's, Old Post Office Shop, and the Kirby House." "Davis captures these Michigan landmarks in her unique pictures, which she creates by manipulating the gel-like chemicals in Polaroid photographs while they're still developing. This imbues her work with a quality, somewhere between photorealism and impressionist painting."--BOOK JACKET.
