Original Artist's Books & Handbound Book Editions
by Pegi Eyers

Picture
My ongoing fascination with books and the book form has led to explorations in the book arts with structure, binding, papermaking, texture and unusual materials. Combining my visual arts practice in painting, printmaking, mixed media and assemblage with artist's books, my handbound book editions are focused on nature, mythic symbols, whimsical expressions and other narratives.  For me, the handmade book is an object to be experienced and cherished!  Pegi Eyers
