Sheila Newbery is a photographer and printer. She works in silver (in a traditional wet darkroom) and platinum-palladium, which she learned in apprenticeship with Josh Partridge. Her book Los Caprichos (IF SF Publishing, 2020) was inspired by Goya's uproarious aquatint etchings of 1799. You can see a short video about the project at this link.
