These days life is all about curation, from who you pin on Pinterest to what you share on your blog. Curation is something I do every day, in everything I do. I enjoy the challenge that curation brings to every task. How can I do this better, how can I improve the user experience, how can I make something more interesting, educational, enjoyable or profitable.
I work in shades of whimsy, secrets, and mixed media. I tell stories with paint, paper, and found objects.

A Guide to Interactive Altered Books, Memory Art, and Collage teaches the paper engineering techniques for making three dimensional and interactive "paper tools" such as vellum pockets or hinged doors that reveal mini booklets underneath. These tools are applicable to alter book, memory art, and collage artists at any level of experience. The tools are also adjustable enough to be used in any style of work.
