Whitney Stahl was born in Miami, Florida in 1986 and grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Arts & Sciences from the University of North Carolina at Asheville in 2008. After working in design, the computer no longer appealed to Whitney and she wanted to get back to using her hands as an artist.She recently received a Masters of Art at the Corcoran College of Art & Design in the Art and the Book Program. Her yearlong internship at the Library of Congress sparked an interest in writing about emerging Book Arts, and the history; while exploring the book form herself. Whitney incorporates letterpress, lithography, photography and her hand binding and papermaking skills to create artists? books to engage the reader in an unexpected personal experience. She is currently a studio assistant at Sarvisberry Gallery and Studio with artist Gibby Waitzkin.
