Original Papercut Art by Michelle May

The unpretentious nature of papercutting comes from its roots in folk art, an art form I deeply admire as I too am self taught.  Using a single piece of charcoal paper and wielding nothing more than a humble blade, I slowly cut away the negative space to reveal the story, pun or message that comes to me. I describe it as a "Divine Download." I focus on creating original pieces, as personally, I simply don't fit in or care for mass production and consumerism. My art, is meant for someone and maybe that someone is you.
