About

As a teacher, paper artist, and founder of Seastone Papers, I continue to explore paper possibilities. My fascination and regard for the history and culture of handmade paper have included travels to remote areas of Burma (Myanmar), China, and Tibet with Elaine and Sidney Koretsky to explore the origins, plants, and formation of paper made by hand. My own paper art has been displayed both on and off the island of Martha's Vineyard. Through classes at Seastone Papers, I share what I have learned and understand about paper.
