Description

Original papercut image. 2.5 x3.5 inches.

I create my papercuts with an x-acto knife, and a lot of patience. First, I cut the design from one or more sheets of solid papers. I then shift them around, to create interesting shadows, or matting effects. I then create the painted layer. This part was the most fun, because it involves splattering, spritzing, and overall mess-making with vivid colors. To create the final look, I layered the cut out papers over the painted paper. The contrast of loose textures against the clean cut-lines create a visual dynamic that really pops.

You can choose for me to send it as is, or I would be happy to mount it for you on a larger sheet of 4x6 inch heavy stock, and sign it.

This mini original will be safely packaged into a rigid mailer for shipping to you.
