Inspired by Women

Enter the book, Inspired by Women, and penetrate the heart and mind of Patricia Pinciotti, Ed.D., and the women who activated these conversations. “Bookmaking is a way I communicate with people in my world,” said Dr. Pinciotti, a retired professor from ESU in elementary and early childhood education. “During the pandemic, my bookmaking focus shifted from helping others find their artistic voice to cultivating my own. I advanced my bookmaking skills by working with women on collaborative book projects, in dialogue with women about art and creativity, and in classes about and led by women from around the world. Surrounded by art made by women, stories and shared feelings emerged through my bookmaking process. This exhibit is a tribute to that process and deep gratitude for the women in my life.”

The gallery exhibit also incorporates two large-scale book projects done with Paula Kelberman, along with works from Pinciotti’s inspired collection.
