​Artist Statement

My latest artwork is Artist Books. This includes bookmaking, paper making and printing. I make Artist Books that contain fine art. The multidisciplinary nature of this medium includes design and binding along with content of the pages to tell a personal narrative. Each book I make is one of a kind and exists as a 3-D art form. The increasing popularity in book arts is where History meets Avant-garde. Please take a look at my work and enjoy this exciting art discipline.
Picture

“Seas of Change” is an accordion style book displayed in a custom plexiglass case. The ocean and its associated ecosystems are constantly changing. Global warming is responsible for decreasing populations of marine life, birds and mammals headed towards extinction. Simpler changes related to tide schedules and sea, sand and treasures washed ashore are constant. I traveled on a healing journey to the rugged Oregon coast last summer and I came away with new perspective and gained wisdom and Hope. The book is a celebration of the beauty and strength of the ocean.
