ABOUT KATHRYN CARR
-
Inspired by the art of scherenschnitte (German for scissor snips), I create original cut paper art work. I have been a full time paper cut artist since 2008. The aspect I enjoy most about my art work is that it seems to make a strong emotional connection with others. I love to hear why people are drawn to certain images , sometimes it reminds them of a memory or because it makes them laugh out loud.
I have developed a line of whimsical silhouette greeting cards that are sold throughout the United States. I also use my images for prints, tea towels, match box theaters and other fun and useful items. I have worked with individuals and companies in creating music album covers, designs for websites and commissioned art work. I am looking forward to starting a creative journey in illustrating and networking through scwbi.
