About me

Having been introduced to the book arts at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I decided to pursue my Masters in Book Arts at Camberwell College of Arts in London earning my degree in 1998. I was intrigued by the amazing possibilities within the book arts, and how one must handle an artist book to have a complete understanding of the artwork. Drawing upon the multiple crafting traditions I learned growing up in a "hands-on" family, I enjoy exploring different crafting methods and materials in my artwork, but am most often drawn what can be done with paper and textiles. Learn more about my experiences or inquiries can be made by contacting me.
