Luana Ritch

As early as 2010, veteran Luana Ritch was introduced to paper making.  Here, she is cutting a field jacket that she wore when she was deployed in Korea.  From that jacket, Luana made many sheets of paper which she used for poetry and other art forms. Because of that experience, Luana explored new frontiers of paper-making, book arts and now she is pioneering a new art, paper baskets.
