Cheong-ah Hwang came to the U.S. in the early ’90s from Seoul, Korea, and has been living in Columbus since 1997. She attended The Ohio State University, studying an undergraduate program in fine art. Her love for paper material led her to make things like paper models ever since her childhood. Now, she mainly makes paper relief sculptures. She’s fascinated with putting 2D and 3D elements together—creating three-dimensional illusion in less than an inch of depth. Hwang’s works have been shown throughout Columbus, including the show Made in Ohio: Diverse Sources at the Ohio Arts Council’s Riffe Gallery in 2005. She now runs an online shop featuring her art, and she also works as a freelance artist for ad agencies and publishers. Her art is often photographed and used for book covers or advertising illustrations. Hwang is also an author of a how-to book, Creative Paper Cutting: 15 Paper Sculptures to Inspire and Delight published by GMC Publications (UK).
Bexley Public Library
Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
