Whimsical, ink on paper drawings and prints

“As a self-employed artist you have to constantly push yourself to create.”

“You don't want to force your creative process, you want your art to be natural.”

“I just published my second comic book.”

Everything around me inspires my work. I am a self taught artist. Because of Covid-19 my sales have gone down significantly, it's hard. I have been trying to create as much as I can. I just want to make the world a little brighter and my art helps me do that.

Requested Funding: $100.00

Hazel Glass

Paper Strata Art

“All of my work begins life as a 2D ink drawing on paper.”

“I break that design into layers and create templates.”

“ I hand cut out each layer with an xacto knife.”

www.artbyhazelglass.com

I create intricate, multi-layered hand-cut paper original art. My style is ornate and colorful, ranging from illustrative to abstract, all presented as bas-relief sculptures. I reproduce them as laser cut editions, artist books, and hand-embellished giclee prints so that everyone can bring these precious windows into magical worlds home with them.

Requested Funding: $200.00
