Linda Stephen's original origami bas relief landscapes incorporate elements of the Japanese textile arts of origami (paper folding), oshi-e (paintings from quilted silk scraps) and chigiri-e (painting with paper). Stephen is originally from Big Rapids, Michigan, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets, to cranes circling a snowy corn field, to children skipping in the rain. Linda Stephen's origami art landscapes are part of public and private collections across the U.S. and Japan, from the JW Marriott Grand Rapids’ Sister City Collection to the City Hall in Omihachiman, Japan.
