As a papermaker and paper artist, my practice centers on transforming organic fiber into abstract art forms that blur the boundaries between textile, sculpture, and painting.

My love of paper as a medium encourages me to embrace its versatility. In my studio, I engage in papermaking, pulp painting, bookbinding, and the design and construction of paper-based lamps—each process offering new ways to honor the expressive potential of fiber.

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.
