Christopher McAfee spends every waking hour wrangling the ideas racing through his head, and occasionally his ideas will emerge in the form of book arts. Though he doesn’t make his living as an artist, per se, his career as a book conservator at BYU incorporates many of the skills he learned from art. He received a BFA in printmaking from BYU and an MFA in book arts from the University of Alabama. Through these programs and the years of practice that followed, he learned (and continues to learn) not only the technical skills, but also the problem-solving skills that apply to both his conservation work and his artwork.
