Tiffany Simply Sharpe

I enjoy making books and sharing my love of art with others. I have enjoyed crafting for most of my life. It started soon after being adopted from South Korea at the age of 8, when my mom taught me how to cross stitch and sew. I became interested in quilting after getting married and traveling the world with my husband. I was a science teacher by day, but always busy with creating some form of art or craft in my spare time. I later picked up more hobbies when I became a mom, knitting as I sat by my children’s bedside and scrapbooking all of their firsts. I began to explore watercolor and mixed media only recently, and fell in love with the idea of expressing myself through art for myself. I used art journaling and book binding as a form of self healing through the pandemic. Now, I enjoy making books that combine many of my previous talents while providing a place to beautifully showcase the papers, textiles, and vintage treasures that I have been collecting.

If you would like to hear more about how I got started with making art, you can listen to episode 19 of the Willa Wanders Show Up or Shut Up podcast. Find out all the places I have lived, and discover how the idea of Fodder School and the Fodder Challenge started!
