Bio

I'm a graphic designer & artist living in Spring, TX {outside of Houston}. "Several" years back I graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute with a Bachelors degree in Design and Art History. I had my first bookmaking and caligraphy class at KCAI and got hooked. I only recently starting selling my books so I could stay home with our son. I sell them here on etsy and at various art festivals and shows in our areas. My husband is a teacher and woodworker and he contributes to the books with wood covers. . . I'll go nowhere near the table saw!

All of my books are original and unique . . . I will never make two exactly alike. Many of the bindings are made with hand torn paper and hand stitched. A lot of "hand" work and time is involved in each book.

Most of my books showcase decorative papers that are designed by me, hand carved in linoleum and hand printed. You will never see these papers anywhere but on my books. These books are signed and dated.

Please feel free to contact me if you'd like something special.
