Children board books altered using vintage papers and white chalk paint.

The original pages have been layered, covered, and gently reworked with timeworn materials, creating new surfaces for poetry. Softened edges, muted tones, and worn textures give the books a sense of ancient sacredness.

Texts taken from poets like Mary Oliver and the late Andrea Gibson, whose poetry I deeply admire and return to often.
