it's a family thing...
Springing forth from his great-great-grandfather, the 19th-century sculptor Charles Champagne (1830-1901), a design engineer father, and a watercolorist mother, Paul Shampine may have been genetically predisposed to blur the lines between two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. ​
Despite a brief foray into finance and publishing, Paul has followed his true passion of studying nature and fulfilling his drive to create.
​
Emphasizing biomimicry, he draws inspiration from natural designs and structures, turning them into one-of-a-kind avant-garde forms.
