🦋After more than two decades of working and teaching in the visual arts disciplines, studying bookbinding in 2000 was a much needed creative revival. The following 15 years spent restoring beautiful old books connected me to the Artisans of the past, developed and honed my skills and perception.
Applying these skills into the creation of individual and limited edition artist books, now combining mixed media and print-making within the book structure thus extending my capacity to frame and develop concepts and images.
Collaborations to produce limited edition artist books include:
- ‘Loneliness to Solitude’ with photographer/textile artist Unhi Mook.
- ‘Overprint’ with artist/printmaker Leon Pericles.
- ‘Handscapes’ (winner of the 'City of Busselton Art Award 2016') with letterpress historian/printer Dr Claire Bolton.
Collections include:
- Books on Books collection UK
- Iowa State University - Visual Arts Libraries, Artist book collection
- National Library of Australia - Artist Book collection
- State Library of Western Australia - WA Heritage collection
- State Library of Queensland - Artist Book collection
- City of Busselton Art Collection
- Numerous private collectors
