| Introduction | I grew up in Colombia and now live in Ames, IA. My interest in book arts has inspired me to integrate book binding and literature in various creative projects. I write poetry and create handmade books with several papermaking, and adhesive and non-adhesive bookbinding techniques. I was the recipient of the 2007 Jeoraldean S. McClain Art History Fellowship to study historic bookmaking techniques with Master Bookbinder Jan Sobota in Loket, Czech Republic. |
