When we were coming up with our post ideas for this week we thought, how can we talk about paper without including some of our favourite paper artists? Now we’re sure most of you are probably familiar with these wonderful artisans, but sometimes it’s just nice to have a visual reminder of all the amazing work that’s out there!
Heather was one of the first people we “met” through blogging and she has become such a wonderful friend. Her pinhole work is stunning and appeals to our sometimes obsessive nature :). Can you even imagine how gorgeous an entire room wallpapered with these would be?
Patricia’s book, Home, Paper, Scissors will be available in bookstores in August, but you can pre-order it here
We have been big fans of Esther Ramirez for a while and always love looking through her etsy shop to see what’s new. She uses such great color combinations that can’t help but make you smile.
CLICK HERE for the rest of the post after the jump!
And of course there is Yuli Brodskaya, who leaves us in awe with her concise and brilliant PAPERgraphics. Pure eye candy!
Simon Schubert’s stunning folded paper works seem to appear as just a crumpled piece of paper from afar. When seen up close and you can really see how much detail there actually is. They’re really quite something.
If you haven’t seen Julene Harrison’s work, what are you waiting for? She creates charming custom papercut pieces with precision.
Last, but certainly not least, is Robert Ryan! We couldn’t forget about him now, could we? Whimical and sweet, his pieces definitely stand out from the rest.

Have you ever seen the work of british paper sculpter Richard sweeney, you should check it out. His work is amazing, you wouldnt beleive the shapes he can produce with one sheet of paper. xx
What a lovely surprise! Thank you so much for featuring me Grace—and in such great company.
Ooops! Thank you Julie and Kathryn – just realized I was thinking one thing and typed another.
gorgeous. these were such needed inspiration this morning!
I love paper!!! Beautiful examples- some I knew but some I didn’t. Thanks!
okay, this was cool. I had seen some but not all of these artists, so I was glad to add to my list of favorites.
So glad to see you feature Essimar! I am a huge fan of her work, and have several pieces in my home. They are affordable, interesting and intricate, and always receive compliments from guests- art aficionados and non-art-aficionados alike!
Carlos: Thanks for the suggestions! We love Jen Stark’s work, and we’ll definitely have to check out the others!
Emma: Wow! His work is fantastic! Thanks for mentioning it.
Patricia: We most certainly couldn’t forget you for this post :) We adore your work.
Holy Moly! I’ll gladly declare my obsession for paper and paper artists. Another superstar to add to this already excellent list would be Peter Callesen

That first Robert Ryan image (the larger, brown one) seem eerily close to the artwork on the Erasure album and singles from 2005 “Nightbird.” Am I right?
I am a paper feind so this post is heavenly! Julenes work especially is absolutely beautiful… such loud but intricate typography. thanks so for the introduction!
