Rhode Island native, Chad Amos Self, creates art with a focus on paper making, pulp painting, and fiber sculpture. Self translates his love of imagination into his studio art.

He has shown work at Hera Gallery, Hoxie Gallery, One Way Gallery, the University of Rhode Island, Studio Blue, Carlotti Administration Building, the Danforth Museum of Art, the Artist’s Cooperative Gallery of Westerly, Goddard College, The Eliot D. Pratt Library, Imago Gallery, and the Jamestown Art Center. Self is a proud member of the historical Hera Gallery, where he also sits on the executive board.
