SPECIAL THANKS to my CCS advisor, Linda Ekstrom, who has been my mentor for the past two years. I would not be where I am today without your guidance and support. I am immensely grateful to you for helping me achieve my goals, for providing me opportunities to grow as an artist, and for helping me fall in love with book arts and printmaking.

​

To Rose Briccetti, who helped start my path as an artist by giving me the initial push to join the Book Arts program.

​

To Cathy Ellis, Inge Bruggeman, Sarita Zaleha, Madeline Ignon, Andrew Morrison, Jennifer Lugris, and the aforementioned for teaching me, and for supporting my work in numerous ways.

​

To my mom, dad, sister, and all other family members for being a constant source of inspiration and loving support. And to my grandmother Maureen, who was one of my biggest supporters and would have been extremely proud of me for this work.

​

To Magaly, for modeling, providing feedback, and always giving unwavering support.

​

To my classmates, who provided input, support, and friendship throughout my endeavors.

​

To all others who have supported me, followed me on my journey as an artist, and given me positive feedback; you are the ones who motivate and reassure me!
