I love making paper. It is the exploration of fibers, earth and natural materials.
How I manipulate it is was makes my images unique. They are there to see, touch and to enjoy.
Enjoy my Spirits, illuminarias or hand formed sheets of paper.
I like to call them "Notes from the Earth"

"Notes from the Earth"


...the scent of vanilla and pumpkin fills the air
and I look at the bits of leaves, straw and paper pulp.

I think of the days that I walked thru the woods
Listening to the "spirits" as they dance from limb to limb
chatting, laughing and singing
feeling sorry for those who mistake the rustle,
as just the wind.

I remember the crackle beneath my feet,
as I walk the path of fallen leaves - red, orange, tan and gold
and I come upon a field of cornstalks,
stacked together like guardians of their fallen brethren
and I hear the children laughing - for the only 'spirits' they know
are of sugar, syrup and chocolates

A strong wave of pumpkin awakens me from my reverie
as I look upon the essences from plant, tree and fiber
and I begin to share the stories the 'spirits' whispered...

I begin my "Notes from the Earth"
