Handmade paper and dyed, needle-felted wool are layered into nature-inspired 2D textured art.
Creating their art together has been a way of life for the “Bear Paws” since their college days at the University of Minnesota over thirty years ago. Bill and Linda now live in the central Minnesota woods and find their inspiration from the many sources that surround them. Their felted wall artwork is multilayered with whimsical embellishments such as beads, sticks, leaves, copper, or stones. The intricate, handcrafted detailing results in work that exudes rich textures and vibrant colors.
