When it comes to paper cut art, all that we think of is the hours of cutting and painful waiting to make that perfect piece of art but for artists like Emma Van Leest, paper cutting is all about devotion.

There's no doubt that there are already a lot of paper cut artists these days but once you go through Emma's work you'll be left awestruck and you'll know why she's different from the rest.

This Melbournite discovered her love for paper cut art accidentally during her art school days and since then has developed her technique by picking up tips and tricks from here and there. By all means Emma is a self-taught artist.
