papercuts by jennifer judd-mcgee

jennifer judd-mcgee is a maine-based artist and illustrator. i love her coastal inspired, nature driven patterns which she creates in mediums such as collage, pen + ink drawing, and ..... papercuts!!

i admire the intricacy of her patterns. they feel simple, happy, and graphic to look at, yet they have movement, a story, and a bigger-picture-purpose. i imagine papercutting is similar to the printmaking/reduction methods i've been experimenting with, except maybe you need a little more steady-handedness...

i'm intrigued by the way she captures life in her designs but also maintains a loose, natural, whimsical feel. you just feel something when you look at each one. it's fun to look into her work and be captured by the different emotions in each.

 ... seriously, you have to see more, here!
