Blank Artist Book, blue with flower cloth cover by Charlene Matthews

Blank Artist Book, blue with flower cloth cover (2018) by Charlene Matthews has cloth covers (cotton flower print), hand dyed papers with occasional abstract drawings, and exposed spine on linen tapes.

We are thrilled and honored to offer unique, handmade, and absolutely beautiful artworks by Los Angeles based book artist and master bookbinder Charlene Matthews.

Matthews is an influential part of the Los Angeles artist book scene, where she works and teaches. Her work has been exhibited in venues such as the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles. She builds books for Lari Pittman's book art (Huntington Library, Regen Projects). And she has lovingly restored and repaired countless family treasures from family bibles to cook books.

A true piece of Los Angeles artist book history.
