My Bio
I have been creating origami artwork for several years, although I prefer to create pieces for other people rather than for myself. I have displayed my artwork at local art galleries and have donated my art to the community. I enjoy making a variety of pieces, including working origami clocks, bowls, wedding bouquets and jewelry. The most enjoyable aspect of origami for me is the continuous challenge it brings. There are always new techniques to learn and thousands of models world-wide to discover.

Current Residence: Colorado
Favourite genre of music: Almost anything :)
Personal Quote: Origami is an art, not a craft; let your local bookstore know!

Favourite Visual Artist
FragileWhispers, Tomoko Fuse, Jeremy Shaffer, John Montoll

Paper!!
Several months ago, I offered a friend something made out of origami for her wedding. I shortly realized what a desultory offer I had made when she said, "I want cranes." The denouement of this project (which entailed 35 packages of tissue paper, 1 box wallpaper paste, a decrepit paintbrush, 6 months of paper-making, cutting and folding, 1500 yards of string and 1260 cranes) resulted in me having very little alacrity to work with paper. I also have little doubt that I am officially out of my mind - especially since I am unable to even attend this wedding. I do hope that I will receive some pictures, however, so that I may post them on DA. B

Although I still use DA frequently, I feel that my account is slightly outdated and cluttered. I continue to use DA because it is still a good place to store and share photos of some of my work. It also serves as an excellent personal reference to what I have made over the years. However, as a personal project I have been working on a blog to display some of my favorite pieces as well as to accept commissions more easily. Because my work is three-dimensional, I do not feel that prints, that are provided by DA, are adequate for the full appreciation of origami pieces. Please take a look if you have a chance, or share with your friends! Or, i

Hiatus

0 min read
Yes, I have been a very long hiatus from DA due to working, being a procrastinator, and mostly, a lack of internet. However, I have been making a lot of things in the past few months (mostly playing around with a lot of different jewelery stuffs since I'm planing on selling some at NDK this year). Anyway, the point of this long ramble, once I have some reliable internet I plan on updating a large amount of work I've been doing lately. P.S. Sorry to those of you who had questions for me about my work, that I failed to answer in a timely manner. I hope that my belated answers were helpful despite being so late!

Thank you for watching, nice to see another folder.
Anytime :) I always enjoy seeing other peoples' work, you can always learn so many new things. xD

Also, thank you for the watch as well!
I am in love with all of your origami work. Especially the jewelry, it's so awesome.
Thank you so much! I haven't had much time to fold lately, but I hope to start up again soon :)
Thank you very much! I really enjoy making jewelry, since it is something that most everyone can enjoy and it lasts pretty well.
I know, I love jewelry even though I don't wear much.
Thanks!

Sorry about the late reply, It's been a while since I've been on this site or done any folding due to returing to school! I hope to get back into more folding soon. It's always nice to hear people like my work, keeps me motivated :)
