Mini Book Portfolio
A desire to expand my collaging repertoire to
include bookmaking led to the creation of this
series of four mini books given as gifts to
friends. I enjoyed the challenge of drawing on
my personal relationship with each person to
tease out the books’ themes.
Mini Book for
Elaine
San
Francisco-based artist/painter Elaine Coombs is
a dear colleague, mentor and friend. Last year when she asked me
to participate in a recipe swap I made this
special card-style book to house a favourite
family recipe for her.
A Valentine for
Kevin
No store-bought Valentine will do for my sweet
husband Kevin Casey who's so supportive of my
art career. I created this card-style book for
him based on his quirks and our history
together. For more on this piece see:
My Valentine's Day Collage Mini Book.
Mini Book for
Gillian
Painter and mixed media artist Gillian Jansen
lives in the UK;
her artwork is often inspired by her natural
surroundings. When she gifted me with a small
book last year, I immediately set out creating
one for her inspired by my visions of Celtic
mythology. See
A Mini Book for Gillian for more on this
piece.
Mini Book for
Diane
A
tour de force, my friend Diane Salter is a
US-based mixed media artist and dancer. It was exciting to create
this accordion-style mini book for her. Is there
anything more incredible than the sensual,
flying, free-falling, floating feeling of dance!
