Oregon based artist, Jennifer Galvin, reclaims discarded material and gives it new life—old t-shirts,  jeans, and mat board are transformed into intricate works of art. Jennifer has been making paper since 2002 and has a degree in art from Oregon State University. Her love for making paper has

 gradually evolved to painting with paper—pulp painting. As the pulp becomes the painting, it is transformed into something entirely new—something beautiful out of what was once discarded. Jennifer loves the hope that comes from giving objects a second life seeing promise in the forgotten, hope from hopelessness.

 Jennifer’s pulp paintings have been shown regionally, nationally, and internationally, and have won several awards in National Juried Exhibitions. She is a member of IAPMA (International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists), NAHP (North American Hand Papermakers), TAC (TheArts Center, Corvallis, OR), and her work is shown at Alleghany Highlands Arts and Crafts Center in Clifton, Forge and Annie Gould Gallery in Gordonsville, VA.
