The world is burning around me, so my responsibility is toward community and creating art. Lots going on in the summer of 2025; Paper and Book Intensive, where I’ll get to take classes with Shanna Leino (Bonefolder the Beautiful), Rebecca Gilbert (Wood Engraving for Artists, Illustrators, and Miniature Print), and Tim Barrett & Helen Hiebert (Paper Lanterns). Next will be the College Book Art Association conference at my alma mater, UW-Madison, where I get to reconnect with my Tribe. Then some dream fulfillment: finally traveling to Kyoto! After that I’ll be joining the Semi-Occasionals for our annual print exchange-can’t wait to see my gang. Finally, time in Salt Lake City with the Ladies of Letterpress Conference and a residency to work on a book with a dear friend. I am feeling extraordinary amounts of gratitude, and a strong desire to build work.
