PEEK AT MY PROCESS

Artist's Books are a world unto themselves.

The Wolf at the Door
from found object to object of art!


​The Wolf triptych was a bit like bringing a newborn into the world.
It took nine months from when I first saw a vintage dressing table mirror outside a local shop and decided to turn it into a piece of art.
