Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord has been working as a visual artist since the late 1970s. Ten years of calligraphic work were followed by a deep involvement in book arts where she is best known for her Spirit Books and her advocacy of the educational and personal value of simple bookmaking with recycled materials. She divides her studio time between hands-on work with natural materials and the digital screen and writes, blogs, and lectures about the artist’s life and the history of the book. |
