Gregg Welz, a lifelong resident of Norwalk, explores the grid by intricately configuring pieces of paper into repetitive patterns that create nuances of color and cast shadow. After an art and design education at Pratt Institute, he worked in many creative fields including technical illustration, graphic design, advertising, art restoration and framing design. His current works are called Paper Cuts. A conceptual artist, his imagination is influenced by the geometry of the environment, both natural and man-made.
