Doug & Sandra McDonald are a collaborative artist duo known for their handmade paper sculptures, created using cast and embossed techniques to give flat media a sculptural presence.

Sandra McDonald, active in the 20th century and based in Texas, also worked in landscapes and portraits before focusing on this unique mixed-media form.
