Dine reused the plate to make two more prints (D. & F. 2 and 8), cutting it down each time, so that this is considered the first state of 3. For most prints a change of state occurs when the artist makes modifications to an existing image which remains basically the same; for these works Dine completely reworked the plate so that, other than all being floral subjects, the images are completely different. 9.

In 1992 she was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member, and became a full Academician in 1994. She won a 2005 and 2009 Artist Grant from the DC Commission on Arts and Humanities.

She lived from the sixties to 1981 in San Francisco, and moved to Washington, D.C., in 1982. (From an article in Wikipedia). Forrester is best known for her very large scale watercolors of the natural world which show the influence of Janet Fish. The same detail which went into the paintings is evident in the etching, "Judith's Garden."
