Explorations in Book Arts,
Paper and Creative Musings

Welcome to Bound Impressions, where my love for book arts and design unfolds in a range of artistic pursuits. With a passion for crafting diverse book structures, much of my work explores the versatility of paper. I enjoy making my own paste and acrylic papers as well as working with a diverse range of Japanese papers. These papers serve as the foundation for my explorations in creating a variety of book structures from journals to accordions and boxes. I also enjoy adding embellishments like beads and layering miniature books within book structures. I’m an avid fan of inspirational quotes which find their way into my books and design projects.

On the musings page, you’ll find a curated selection of quotes and discover links to writers, podcasts, music, exhibitions and organizations that inspire my creative journey.
