J. Bergquist Paper Paintings

I work with paper, cutting, tearing, slicing, and layering to create a semi-realistic image. It creates a painting like quality until you get close and see that the texture, depth, light and shadow are developed through the layering, texture and choice of colored paper.
 
 

Hummingbird with columbines

Columbines of red and yellow hang down as a buzy hummingbird hovers underneath one flower looking for nectar. Paper, gel medium on canvas.
