This is a gallery of handmade journals and books that I have created.
“Art is not something that just hangs on a wall.” A thought process I have had for many years, as well as a desire to make functional art… something that could be used as more than just a display.
I was inspired after taking a book making class that sparked a whole new level of creativity for me. Some journals are leather covered and bound with a decorative binding, while other covers are created with my original art or photography. Some have hand-painted pages and some with a lot of pockets. All different, unique, and one-of-a-kind. I use several types of unlined paper for writing or artwork in my process; recycled packing paper, writing, mixed media, and watercolor papers. At present, I do not make the paper but have my hands involved in every aspect of creating these one-of-a-kind journals and art books. Explore the photos below, pick a style you like, and I will be happy to answer your questions on availability, pricing, or for making a specific commissioned one for you.
