I really love making books and I wanted to share my process and two really cool binding techniques. The first is a coptic which is pretty common, but the second one is a looping technique that makes a beautiful book.

My painting approach is not a direct formulated approach. I start out with something in mind but somewhere during the process it changes and I allow the change to happen. I share that process of how I go through stages of a thought out approach and then move into spontaneity. I seem to bounce back and forth with the two stages until the art is finished. My videos are full of techniques but what I really like to get across is the process in the moment and jumping on those wonderful surprises that happens during the creative process.

I paint on fabric, wood, and paper. I also show you how to imbed paper into the fabric and having the option of painting on both surfaces.

I love interacting with my students and hope to see you in my new class.
