Creating 3-D paper sculpture is my passion. Filling a glass enclosed shadow box with various images is fulfilling and challenging. Most require over 100 hours to complete. Some are explosions of color while others are gentle white on white. I studied at Indiana University, Ringling College of Design, and the American Academy of Art. However, my paper sculpture background is self-taught over 30 years—with much still to be explored. People say “He’s dedicated” or “He’s a paper surgeon” or “He’s insane”. A touch of each I suspect.
