Here are some examples of my paper-cut illustrations. Each of these pieces were completed for my university coursework. As you can see, I do make sure to involve plants and greenery into EVERYTHING! I love the contrast in colours in the bottom two examples as I find that the messages between dark & light, sad & happy, unhealthy & healthy, are well-conveyed.
