Jennifer Avallone

Babylon Village Arts Council is proud to present Jennifer Avallone as March's Rotational Artist at Sterling Bank located at 180 West Main Street.

YES it's Paper! I love what I do! Paper art has been my outlet for art and creativity. Between chatting with online customers and meeting people at artisan and craft fairs, the encouragement has been unbelievable. After seeing this art several years ago, I fell in love with it.

Searching the internet for tips and tricks, I taught myself the art of quilling and have had a successful and memorable time since starting my business in 2012.

In 2016 I decided to extend past online and craft fairs and ad shops to my business. I am now featured in 9 specility shops all over Long Island and New England and more than 15 Hallmark locations (soon to be expanding to other markets).

Quilling; or paper filigree, is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. Half of my designs are custom (based on customer requests), while the other half is my own imagination.
