Artist Kevin Kichar

I’m an Artist and Designer who enjoys making art that is unique and colorful. From papermaking to handmade tile my art works incorporate many mediums. My work began with the study of art history. It naturally evolved from a background of technical drawing, computer generated art and illustration. It was enriched as I apprenticed with artisans throughout the country. I have learned many techniques along the way – including the process of handmade paper. But I did not become an artist until I incorporated those techniques into my own form of expression. Papermaking allows me to transform these influences into something new.
