I am a paper artist who creates original art and surface design by placing strips of handmade papers within a paper cut.  I come to the field of design after a twenty-five year career in the neurosciences. The patience and precision for the paper cut technique comes from my experience as a micro-surgeon studying the recovery of injured peripheral nerves (with applications for spinal cord injury and repair). For me, the scientific method is always present and comes into play when I explore the transferring of my design work to various surfaces such as:  paper, tile, marble, ceramics or fabric. 

In 2005, I founded Paper Confections Design. Currently located in New Marlborough, MA, I produce original artwork, hand crafted 100% cotton stationery, and surface design.  I have  partnered with Sea Bags of Maine and Lark Fine Foods of Essex, Ma.  My original designs have been featured on recycled sailcloth totes, beach bags, pillows and marble from Dandy, Vermont.  All products featuring my designs are proudly designed, sewn, printed and/or crafted in New England and have been featured in retail stores throughout the US and on the web at paperconfections.com.
