hand-painted paper cut & pinprick collages: lena wolff

With laundry piling up, the kids home for summer, and that never ending to-do list, life can get a little crazy sometimes. And when it does, I always make an attempt to get outside : take a walk through the park or a long bike ride to lunch – something like that. Being around nature, with the sunshine beaming down, helps me clear my head.

Which brings me to today’s artist: Lena Wolff. There is a wonderful balance of flora and fauna in Lena’s hand-painted paper cut and pinprick collages. And the often “blank” or uncluttered backgrounds allow those magically, simple bits of nature to shine through.

*Thanks Ez for introducing me to Lena’s work.
