Artist Statement

I come to bookarts from a textile and printmaking background. I make paper as a support for a narrative medium; drawing, stitching, text or printmaking. Sometimes the paper is the story. Papermaking is physical and tactile; pleasurable labour which produces a profound satisfaction.
