About the Artist

Ronni Jolles, an artist known for innovation, has introduced a new art form. Paper – in its many colors and textures – is the essence of Jolles’s work. The technique could be called collage or mixed media, but in fact, it is something quite different . In a language distinct from painting, Jolles uses paper as a painter creates with paint. The many different papers have been gathered from all over the world including such places as Nepal, Japan, Egypt, Thailand, Italy, Mexico, India, and Tibet.

Born in Rochester , New York , Jolles graduated from Cornell University and has received artistic training from the Corcoran School of Art, The Almalfi Music & Arts Program, the Art League School , and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

When discovering this new art form, Jolles had no idea that the medium of paper would, or could, lead to such a revolutionary art form. Through experimentation and finely honed technical skills, Jolles has broken from convention with the creation of the both sculptural and highly textured artwork.

Jolles finds inspiration in the cyclical journey of trees, a clothesline hanging outside of a window, a children’s dance class, or a serene reflection in the water. Individually, each work is a unique masterpiece. As an exhibit, both awe inspiring and revolutionary.
