Artist Statement

I use paper, cloth, thread, ink, and plants to explore the collaborative dance between matter and Spirit. I play with balancing the precision and accuracy required in traditional bookbinding techniques with intuitive, free-form approaches. 

My work emerges from deep listening and observation. It aims to honor all phases of the emotional healing process and recognizes every emotional state as an essential element of an alchemical process. It is designed to create a collaborative moment with the viewer, a moment of pause to separate from ordinary reality. In that pause, exploring new territories of self and accessing deeper truths becomes possible.
