Welcome to the 20th year of Liberty Grove Paper Arts - a milestone that feels like a celebration of not just paper, but of dreams, creativity, and the joy of sharing what I love most. My name is Nancy Akerly, and I’m an artist based in the heart of Door County, Wisconsin. Paper is my passion, my playground, and my constant source of wonder. Whether it’s the precise folds of origami, the endless possibilities of paper marbling, or the tactile satisfaction of crafting a handmade book or journal, I find magic in every step.

And the best part? I get to share that magic with you through classes and workshops that I pour my heart into. If you’ve ever felt the pull to create something beautiful with your hands, I’d love to guide you. Take a peek at my Classes and Workshops for 2025 - there’s a spot waiting just for you!
