MR. BEAR'S SONG is my first fine press book. My background is in children's book illustration. Combining a love of books with my artist background and letterpress printing, typolgraphy, marbling and bookbinding has given me the freedom to truly express myself in the book arts. The personality and natural creative force of the artist can be felt when the artist/printer has complete control of the finished product. This affection and care can be felt in a fine press book.
