The art of paper cutting by Nikki McClure





Nikki McClure cuts paper like she would draw with a ink pen. Her images are about the simple, but profound pleasures and wonders of cooking and nurturing and our deep connection to nature. You can see a lovely little video about her life in Olympia, Washington , collecting eggs from her hens, harvesting cherries and hanging up her laundry. All such essential and beautifully simple acts that seem to get lost in our busy city lives. She produces for several years now a calender with her images as well as posters, that she self publishes. Her images are gentle reminder of how to live our lives better and more in accord with nature and the seasons. She is the perfect poster child of the green movement!
