Erin Perry Growing up in southern California my kindergarten teacher gave me an "unsatisfactory" in Cut and Paste and I believed her for 50 years. Now I am a collage artist and work in a library. So what better canvas for my art than discarded books?
I've always been a journal keeper. I have trunks full of journals dating back more than 25 years. But a whole new world opened up for me in the summer of 2004. I came across "The Decorated Page" by Gwen Diehn and was immediately hooked. My journals became places for visual art as well as words. I began reading everything I could find on artistic journals and this led to the discovery of altered books. I have attended several mixed media workshops and had the pleasure of working with such wonderful teachers as Lynne Perrella, Lisa Hoffman, Lisa Renert, Kelly Kilmer, Pam Sussman and L K Ludwig. My altered books and assemblage art are on permanent display at Casa de la Zapatas Gallery in Morro Bay.
I have two grown daughters and live on the beautiful Central California Coast in Morro Bay with the love of my life, my domestic partner, Margot.
