Welcome to my website, I hope you enjoy my work, be sure to check out my classes.
You can see more of my work on Instagram, Pinterest and see my process videos on my YouTube channel.
Creating little books has been an enjoyable expression of my internal and external experience of life.
I make them using a variety of papers which include excerpts from old artwork, art journals, rusted tea dyed papers and fabrics.
I employ a variety of mixed media techniques to create interest along with instinctual stitching for embellishment.
I've recently started to teach how I make my little books and it has been an enjoyable experience. I love the inspiration my students derive from my classes and the happy excitement I see in their faces when they become aware of what they are capable of rewards me as a teacher.
BIO
I am a mixedmedia, fiber and textile bookmaking artist. Making something out of nothing is my passion. When I'm in the zone on an art project, I feel a sense of presence that inspires and challenges me. Whether drawing, painting, paper making, fabric dyeing, stitching, or finding something to add to my work, I enjoy getting lost in the process. My bookmaking is always evolving. No two books are exactly alike. Each page is a different expression of shapes, colors, textures, and impressions from my life. I am always intrigued to find unexpected images presenting themselves in the finished piece. I enjoy when the viewer finds something personal in my work. I believe an individual’s view of art is as unique as their fingerprint.
