Calligraphic art and artist's books

My work combines words, marks, texture and color. The structure is usually either a hanging accordion fold book or paper mounted on hardboard panels. The texts are often about language, music, the Constitution, or poetry. Favorite authors are often combined and a printed text accompanies each piece.
