Eric Gjerde

Paper Artist

When asked by his parents what he wanted to be when he grew up, five-year-old Eric replied, “a paperologist.” Throughout his childhood and adolescence he enjoyed paper crafts and origami— a frequent birthday gift was stacks of paper and rolls of tape. Eric continues to fold, teach, and share his talent through hands-on workshops, origami conventions, art exhibitions, and through his popular site www.origamitessellations.com on the Internet.
