Lightweight Paper Sculptures with an Attitude of Strength

Wall Sculpture: Cotton pulp sprayed on armature & faux finished. Strips & rocks of handmade paper.

Award winner paper sculptor Jeanne Petrosky has been working with the medium of hand made paper since 1987. She has been recognized by many as a pioneer for her use of the medium.

In 2004 Dennis introduced his talent and career of 30 years in faux finishing to the process. The focus of these dimensional sculptures is on using pigmented cotton fibers over a hand carved armature, creating either peaceful or active organic shapes.

Their modular approach with the designs allows for intimate home settings or large corporate groupings. Since each piece is hand carved, there is flexibility to meet your needs for larger sizes. The lightweight medium with its attitude of strength is perfect for those large walls.
