Artist Statement

My small one-of-a-kind books are finely crafted statements exploring nature, seasons and poetry.

Infusion of calligraphy and image, the artist’s book evolves from idea to form. The creative process for these books involves meticulous planning and intuitive meshing of words and shapes. The intimate scale of the books requires the viewer to come close and engage themselves in the creative process.

I speak a visual language that has been woven with threads of experience and colored with seasons of my life. The meaning of my art comes not from intellectual discourse, but from articulation of feelings. I want my art to affirm life and be a reminder that there is a positive aspect of humankind worth
celebrating.
