This year we had an overwhelming response of over 130 books! We hope everyone enjoys seeing them on line and that you are able to come to the KBAC in person if you are in the area. We are open M - F, 10 - 5 p.m. We are sometimes off site teaching, so please email info@kalbookarts.org if you are traveling to make sure we are at the studio.
I have one art piece showing at Paper in the River. This is a hand made paper piece that was molded around a geometric shape from a children’s book and then each page inside has different geometric shape designs done with colored pencil.
We are four artists employing a variety
of mediums: paper, metal, paint, wax,
and more. Rich layering and the exploration
of textures push the boundaries of each work
of art. The result is a cohesive and organic
intermingling of processes and aesthetic.
