PAPERCUT ILLUSTRATIONS

CASPVT FUNDRAISER
Created for the 2026 Arts Marathon in support of the Community Asylum Seekers Project Vermont, this series of papercut illustrations explores migratory wildlife through layered cardstock compositions assembled entirely by hand. Each piece was individually cut, arranged, and glued together to create depth and shadow. The series highlights species connected to migration and seasonal movement, reflecting broader themes of transition, resilience, and connection while supporting a month-long community fundraiser through art.





PERSONAL PROJECT
Mojo the pup, my first papercut illustration and the piece that sparked my interest in layered paper art.



PAPERCUT ANIMATION
This papercut animation began as an idea I had been carrying for a while: a quiet winter landscape. Once the illustration was complete, I was inspired to bring the scene to life through stop-motion animation.
