I am a Hand Papermaker and I make paper with a purpose!
Art to me is a language with no words and yet has the power to communicate, convey and connect effectively and profoundly. My everyday encounters with my children lead to curiosity, discovery, experimentation, and reflections, which carry over into my art making process. Like children, it demands a substantial amount of time, effort and attention and can be both laborious and gratifying.
I absolutely love working with my children in the studio to have fun and engagement but most importantly to help them explore, comprehend, and develop a deeper connection with the art making process.
I owe the creative side of me to my mother and the critical side to my father. Today, I am able to experience, nurture and utilize these aspects in my personal and professional life. I am very grateful to them!
