Northridge Branch Library “Writes the Book”!

By

I am thrilled to work again with the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs Neighborhood Engagement Artist Residency (NEAR) program for 2024-25!

I will be an artist-in-residence at the Northridge Branch Library, conducting bookmaking workshops and events for the local community and library patronage from September 2024 through April 2025 on selected Saturdays as well as during the week after school.

I am honored to be serving the City of Los Angeles again through the DCA. Let the bookmaking begin!

Family Bookmaking at the Julian Dixon Culver City Library!

By

It was wonderful to conduct a family bookmaking program at the Julian Dixon Culver City Branch Library, part of the Los Angeles County Library System!

Parents and children worked together to learn how to make and then create their own  accordion fold books with simple one and two cut popups, inspiring each other, as well as myself and the Library Staff as they moved through the process.
