Roberta Lavadour

Q: How many years have you participated in ArtSquared?

A: I THINK this will be my third year participating.

Q: In ten words or less describe your artistic style/perspective.

A: Keep your eyes open and your hands busy.

Q: Is there something you can’t live without in your studio?

A: Hmmm, that’s tough, since bookbinding is so tool-centric. It’s a toss-up between my Kuttrimmer (board cutter) and my Jeff Peachy paring knife. Everything else I could improvise.
