Papermaking Artist

Papermaking changed my art & life.

Let me show you artistic papermaking, and change yours.

I started making paper during graduate school.

I founded Paperslurry in 2012 to share what I was learning about this earth-friendly art medium that makes you stop and go: “HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!!!!”

Now, I am a full-time papermaking artist who exhibits around the world. I’ve taught papermaking at so many places that I can’t remember the whole list right now.

So, how do you turn natural pulp into artistic papers, paintings & sculptures?

Join me by signing up for Paperslurry Weekly.

I’m so happy you’re here!

Stay curious,

I imagine you're hearing lots of cheering on from some of us old timers...and if not, maybe because it means they're busy making paper. You're fabulous! Keep it up!"

“...something in what you wrote really resounded with me, and I just wanted to let you know that your view on papermaking inspires me. I love how you describe your transition into papermaking by using basically waste materials, making the whole venture more circular."
