My love of paper as a medium encourages me to give prominence to its diversity. Each different paper fiber produces an individual and unique set of artistic possibilities.

My studio is home to papermaking, pulp painting, lamp design and construction, and paper weaving. And at some point, they all overlap. Raised in the rolling hills and wide open skies of South Texas, my color pallet is generally influenced by the blues, greens, golds, and browns of sky and grassland dotted by wildflowers.

Mostly abstract in nature, all of my work has a quality of quiet contemplativeness with no two pieces ever alike.

Georgie Cunningham came to papermaking with a background in broadcast and graphic design. She studied papermaking at the Southwest School of Art in San Antonio, Texas and has devoted much of her time to researching common grasses as alternative fiber sources.

Cunningham’s work has shown internationally. She is a member of North American Hand Papermakers and the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists.
