About Siobhan

Siobhan is a book artist, printmaker and mixed media maker. Siobhan's interest in book art started during a session taken by a colleague in the FE college where they were both teaching. This exciting approach to creating art combined Siobhan's love of books and making art which culminated in the completion of an MA in Books Arts at UAL Camberwell School of art. The varied and creative formats used by book artists can be an exciting way to explore and present an array of ideas, many of which can be experimental in nature.
