About the Exhibition#

Painted ponies galloping. A butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. A winged horse taking flight. From the humble
beginnings of a single sheet of paper to 13 gravity-defying metal sculptures, ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN takes you on a journey of hope and discovery.

The ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN art exhibition is created by Santa Fe artists Jennifer and Kevin Box in collaboration with origami artists Tim Armijo, Te Jui Fu, Beth Johnson, Michael G. LaFosse and Robert J. Lang. 

Experiencing the exhibition will be included with admission. A dial-in-from-your-phone descriptive audio tour will also be available to visitors.   

About the Artists#

Jennifer and Kevin Box created ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN in 2013. The first exhibition opened at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden in 2014, and the exhibition has been experienced by over 2 million visitors in gardens and museums throughout the United States ever since. 

Kevin Box graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. In 2004 he was the youngest member elected to the National Sculptors’ Guild and Southwest Art Magazine recognized Kevin as one of the top 21 artists under 31. Over the years he has perfected his unique approach and applied it to complex design collaborations with world-renowned origami masters. 

Jennifer Box received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from New York University in Dance Education and Nonprofit Administration. During her years as a dancer in New York City she performed, choreographed, and directed multiple performing arts shows. Today Jennifer translates such experiences to co-direct with Kevin in the production of this traveling fine art show.
