About The Artist

Regina Smith is a visual artist from Fort Dodge, Iowa. Her interest in fashion accessories and the influence of a book artist led her to designing purses from recycled books in 2003. Since that time she has expanded the concept into making everything from necklaces and belts to clocks and shelves from books.

Regina enjoys the hunt for an interesting book and searches flea markets and book sales to add to her growing collection.

Regina worked as a museum educator prior to her current position in advertising/graphic design.
