Artist Books
Did you know I have a minor in bookmaking?
I have been making books since 2005, often with unorthodox methods and techniques. My first book consisted of printer paper stiched unevenly to covers made of wrapping-papered cardboard. A decade later, I discovered the Book Arts community through the University of Southern Maine and found a welcoming home within the art world.
I combine skills in painting, sculpting, sewing, and ceramics with a didactic love of hisotry and trivia into my books. By regularly pushing the definition of what constiutes a book (my senior thesis was titled "EVERYTHING Is a Book!") I've been a part of numerous solo & group book arts installations, exhibitions, and galleries.
