Artist Statement:
I am a collage and book artist. My books range from traditional to unique works of art. Traditional journals are sewn with a Coptic Binding and are sized for your pocket, a briefcase, and gallery installations. The covers are composed of marbled papers, paste papers, handmade papers, maps or a variety of design paper.
From the “idea” of the book I create a work of art and use my musical background as a cellist to draw inspiration for upcoming projects. The book takes center stage as a performer in motion.
