Description
Madeleine Durham, active 2011–present, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, makes paste papers as art and for use by others. Her inspiration comes from New Mexico’s desert landscape, her colorful dreams, and music. Durham teaches workshops and sells her work at conferences, art fairs, and through her website. Her work is highly desired by fine press publishers and book artists alike. While not technically a production artist, she has made editions of up to 100 sheets.
