Artist Statement
My interest in origami started when I was eight years old and my parents enrolled me in an after school program teaching the basics of origami. I have been self-taught since that time, reading books and experimenting with my own designs for years. I have had the privilege of participating in the Burrillville Arts & Crafts Festival in Rhode Island and receiving an award for Honorable Mention in 2007.
It is incredible how small and intricate the folded designs can become. I have been inspired by many friends and family members to continue with origami, and I am happy to share it.
