Artist’s Books
My work in book arts began in graduate school and allowed me to experiment with combining different art forms to express my ideas. Earliest work combined drawings, etchings, and letterpress to create images that presented different aspects at the same time. After graduate during a time when my press was in storage, the first star book was created layering digital prints. Current work is the development of a tunnel book. Changing mediums challenges me as an artist and often informs work in other areas.
