About Me
My background
Hello and welcome!
I’m Dannielle Vincent, a paper artist based in Chester County, Pennsylvania, specializing in folded book art. A 1994 graduate of Downingtown Senior High School, I’ve spent most of my 40+ years living and creating in the Downingtown area.
My journey into folded book art began in January 2015, when I stumbled across the craft and immediately felt compelled to learn it. After studying online tutorials, I dove in and completed my very first piece—a simple heart. From that first fold, my work has continued to evolve, growing increasingly detailed and intricate as I explore new techniques and push my creative boundaries.
I design all of my own patterns, which are available for purchase through my Etsy shop, premaderemade. I also accept custom commissions, from pattern design to fully folded pieces—please visit my portfolio to see examples of past custom work.
My business is home-based, with local pickup available for customers in the Chester County area. A large selection of my folded book art can be found at Cricket’s Antiques & Garden Market located in beautiful Glenmoore, PA.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

My experience
You may recognize my work, as I was the featured artist for Longwood Gardens, A Longwood Christmas 2018. My book art was displayed in the Conservatory Music Room, which had a library theme. That exhibit was viewed by more than 1.7 million people from around the world!
Over the last decade, I've participated in events at schools, libraries and various markets in the Chester County, Pennsylvania area.
Most recently, I was invited to exhibit my work at Huxley & Hiro Booksellers in Wilmington, Delaware for the Art Loop Wilmington in November and December 2025.
Check the events calendar to see where I'll be next!

My vision
I work with books because they are abundant and rich with possibility. Upcycling them into art gives each one a new purpose and prevents them from ending up in landfills.
So, what can I fold for you?
