I wanted to make a whimsical, three-dimensional paper sculpture. This sculpture has a lot of details all made out of paper and paint. I will show close up details of the sculpture as I explain the story behind this piece.
I enjoy collecting seashells and have many different varieties. Some of them are small enough that I can display them in old printer drawers. One of my recent paper sculpture illustrations was inspired by some of the shells I have collected over the years.
I’ve been making a large variety of teeny, tiny, little miniature things out of paper and paint. I am working on my next round of miniature art shows. Check out all the photos and you will get a glimpse into some of my upcoming miniature paper sculptures.
I love the challenge of creating detailed, three-dimensional pieces, whether it is the furry coat of a corgi or a little ant marching across the stem of a flower.
In this paper sculpture titled, “On My Soapbox,” I wanted to see if I could recreate a squirrel’s woodland scene in miniature using only paper and paint.
If you’ve been following me for awhile, you may remember seeing this little chipmunk in my large-scale paper sculpture installation. He was a part of the scene, sitting on the porch in the Victorian Country Garden scene.
Have you visited an online art gallery recently? It is wonderful that we have the ability now to visit museums in this way, in the comfort of our home during this time when we aren’t able to travel.
This week, I thought I might share some fun facts about the installation, including how much paper it took, how many roses are in the installation and more.
When I was thinking through what I wanted to create for my large-scale paper sculpture exhibit for the Mansion at Strathmore, I felt I had to take a step back and first think about the guests that will view my art.
Because my paper sculpture animals are more fragile than many of the other pieces going into my large-scale installation, I wanted to take them separately.
Today’s story begins near the end of my process. The work in my studio is completed, and my installation is about to leave my studio and make its way to the Mansion at Strathmore.
This is the moment I’ve been waiting for, Sept. 8 2020! Today is opening day of the show “Paper Works: The Art of Paper” at the Mansion at Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland.
In June, I had the opportunity to sit down with Strathmore exhibition coordinator Gabrielle Tillenburg to give viewers a little insight into my upcoming paper sculpture installation at the Paper Works show at the Mansion at Strathmore
