These images show just a few of the beautiful books made by artists in my studio/classroom at the Cedars Fine Art Studios in Marin County, California, a program supporting adults with developmental disabilities. I was an art facilitator with Cedars for four years, during which time artists created over 50 books.
My level of involvement in the books was different for every student. While I often conceptualized and sometimes created a book's physical structure, the art (and story, if there was one) was entirely that of my students.
