How did you get into art? I was a new mom and wanted something that was just for me so I began painting. And then last year I wanted to figure out how to make my own watercolor sketchbooks that were pretty so I learned bookbinding. Who are your inspirations? There aren’t many famous bookbinders but I found inspiration and teachings from DAS Bookbinding on Youtube. What would you call your art style? Oh, just experimental bookbinding. What medium do you prefer? I primarily do rebinds of worn and used books, but I also am a watercolor artist who focuses on semi-realism botanicals. |

What your favorite piece of art you've done? Probably my Neon Gods book. Do you have a place that inspires you? The Kansas City Public Library. And also George Owens Nature Park. Do you have a favorite art museum? The Smithsonian Art Museum. Anything else you would like to add? I am happy to teach anyone who is interested in learning bookbinding! It’s a hard skill to learn but it’s super fun. |
