I believe my interest in paper all started as a toddler in Tampa, Florida. To keep me occupied, my parents would give me newspaper and magazines to tear in my playpen. Apparently, I got to be quite good at it, almost filling the playpen with shredded paper. I’m told the news print ink was a little messy, but I persisted.
I still like to play with paper. but my tastes have matured and I now prefer the Imported Japanese Yuzen Washi papers to a domestic news print.
I fold it into Origami friendship knots, fans, kimonos, inkwells and purses.
I cut it into birds, corsets, dresses, butterflies and angels.
I do pointillism drawings of animals with pen and ink.
I weave it, dye it, layer it, do paste paper patterns on it,
I write on it with colored pencils, oil pastels, gel pens, and ink to make books.
