"The art I create is scissors cutting,
Scherenschnitte, and Grain Painting.
Scherenschnitte is a Pennsylvania-Dutch Folk
Art. I start with a blank sheet of paper, draw a
design in pencil and cut it out with scissors,
paint the details with watercolor and install it
in a hand made wooden frame I have Grain
Painted. Grain Painting is also an old Folk Art
and was originally used to simulate a wood
grain. I also apply the same technique to Shaker
Style Boxes." |
