Her work is mixed media relief, and created using using rolled up paper and acrylic

Describing her process- 'I have hundreds of papers in my studio from all around the world. I treat the paper almost as a pigment, layering colors one on top of the other to create different colors. My pieces are about a foot wide. Then I roll one layer on top of the other in all different thicknesses. I seal the roll with acid-free, archival glue stick, and then cut the long piece into sections with scissors or pruning shears'

Love this artist. I have a large “print” of one of the paper roll pieces in my kitchen.
