I am influenced by Ruth Asawa's drawing exhibit at the Whitney Museum and I wrote a poem on her called 'The Mentor I Never Met'.. I am inspired by her work ethos, economy of line, trust of intuition, organic rhythms, paper folding, implicit movement, inspired use of paper, observation, experimentation, persistence, her pattern, repetition, and variation, ethical values, importance of beauty, curvilinear forms, art work being her salvation, always working.

Sheila Benedis
Nature,s organic shapes permeate my artist books with their texture and movement. I use lively, bright colors. My imagery conveys feelings of joy and excitement. I examine my life, my place in the world, positive social change. I share my work, impact others, have passion for paper, compassion for people.
