About The Artwork
Butterflies are predominantly a symbol of transformation due to their amazing process of metamorphosis. To Native Americans, the butterfly is a symbol of change, joy and color, whereas in Chinese culture, the butterfly represents love, specifically young love. "Butterfly Symphony" is a true labour of love! It contains 188 beautiful and colourful butterflies cut out of Japanese chiyogami papers and sheet music. They start their lives in the piano as sheet music and as they emerge from the piano they become monochromatic, until they fly ever higher catching the rays of the sun, which imbues their wings with bright and vibrant colours. I love using paper as it is malleable and brings additional movement to my art. I hope that this brings joy to the viewer. It certainly uplifts me every time I look at it!

United Kingdom
I am an artist specialising in hand cut and painted paper artworks. Drawing inspiration from nature, colour and form, I cut and draw each component by hand, creating joyful artworks that are individual, imaginative and full of movement. My precision and attention to the detail of each component guarantees that every work is unique. I love working with paper as it allows me to be absolutely precise with my incisions, and as my intent is to create movement not only in the subject matter but also within the medium, paper lends itself wonderfully to manipulation so that the birds or the butterflies literally take flight. I use predominantly Japanese chiyogami papers for their vibrant colours and luminescence, as well as Italian fine papers to reflect my heritage.
