has been folding modular origami and displaying it on her very popular website

Temko award for generously sharing her origami work on her website. In April
2007, A K Peters published her first book, Marvelous Modular Origami, soon
followed by her books Ornamental Origami: Exploring 3D Geometric Designs
and Origami Inspirations. She has been a featured artist and a special guest at
various origami conventions both in the US and abroad.
