Artwork for Sale:
Much of my work is for sale. Please contact me for more information on particular pieces.

Book Art Commissions:
I am available for custom book arts projects. Sometimes a unique hand-made book makes the perfect gift. Custom books are also great for commemorating special events. Please contact me for more information on my past custom projects or with ideas for your next project.

Book Art Individual Classes:
The experience of making your own one-of-a-kind book is both empowering and to be honest...cool. For those who want to learn at their own pace, want tailored individual instruction or want expert guidance in refining their book arts skills, I offer individual instruction in fine book arts (available Seattle-area).

Upcoming Classes and Workshops:
Intro to Silkscreen, taught by Daved Ferrell at Sev Shoon, Seattle, Washington
