Here are some pieces from a couple years ago. I made them in a hand process class and have a special attachment to both. The top is a one of several prints and the bottom is a few pages from a book that I made. Finally got them scanned in.




Identity Book


As a young adult trying to establish her own identity, my personal work has generally dealt with just that. For this piece, I wanted to explore a new avenue of question and opportunity: the identity of others. Throughout the duration of this assignment, I asked fifty-five people to write down what they believe to be their “identity.” Although the question seems pretty broad and somewhat arbitrary, I used it to my advantage to get a wide variety of responses. I asked people of all ages, some I know very well and some that I don’t know at all. I was so surprised with how honest and revealing some people were with their reactions. This has been such a wonderful experience and will always be a powerful piece to me personally.

Church Logo Proposal

New addition to the Accidental Death Series

Haunted house
