Thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Sarah, I am a paper artist Living in Kent.
I have a huge love for all wildlife so most of my work is based around that, However I have also done classic cars, Wedding photos and flowers.
Recently, I have taken up photography to use my own photographs for my artwork.
Paper cutting started as a hobby for me over ten years ago. Over the last few years I’ve been donating them to various animal charities for fundraising.
Each piece starts out with a photograph. Which is then split into the number of layers I want to work with. The layers will vary as to how much detail I can get into the piece.
Each layer is then printed onto the sheets of hammered paper, afterwards I will then start drawing on to add and remove pieces for highlights etc.
Then the fun starts, with cutting each layer out by hand with a scalpel and glueing down before starting on the next layer.
Every Photo is only used to make one piece of art, Making them truly unique.
Have a photograph you would like turned into one of my cuts? It could be possible. For more information use the contact me.
