I am an artist and illustrator that can turn everyday paper into beautiful works of art. Learning to cut as a child in Switzerland I moved to Canada in 1987 and have continued to improve my talent and finding new ways to create intricate artwork with paper. Now living in Stratford Ont. I enjoy to explore art with paper and it can take anywhere from a few hours to several weeks to complete the fragile masterpieces.

My Background
My Background
I enjoy and relax working with paper. Over the years I have developed a language of storytelling by cutting stories out of a single sheet of paper and by using only scissors to cut. New applications and cutting technics have been refined over time and have added a unique selection of artwork to my portfolio.

Process
I begin each piece with a vision in mind, but allow the materials and my instincts to guide me as I work. I believe that the process of creating art should be just as fulfilling as the finished piece.

My work is influenced by the vibrant colors and textures of nature, as well as the emotions and experiences that we all share. I strive to create pieces that are both visually stunning and emotionally impactful.
