Working with papers made from the mulberry plant provides many attractions. A wide palette of colors keeps my visual appetite stimulated and trying new combinations.  It’s delightful to find the creation of “hills and valleys” of texture that come easily once the paper gets wet and is manipulated gently, rolling and “crunching” it. Consequently, the “call of the studio” is quite loud, once I finish feeding the cats and am dressed for the day!

My time is filled with discovery, experimentation and taking steps to see what works best for the visions I have in my mind for the artwork.  I think I know what I wish to accomplish, but then again, I keep my mind open to wherever the adventure may take me. There is a lot to learn each day just by working with the ancient Korean “Joomchi” technique.
