Helen Musselwhite and Her Paper Art

I came across some pieces by an artist named Helen Musselwhite today on Pinterest.  I love cut paper art and I especially love whimsical cut paper art, so her work is right up my ally. I especially love her glass domes.









About her work (courtesy of her website):

By the use of bold colour, strong graphic line and familiar images I create highly individual and visually appealing pieces of art that make an instant impact. My work has a distinctive hand crafted quality that pays respect to all forms of mid century design, folk and ethnic art, as well as current and future trends.

Each piece combines the hand cutting, folding and scoring of a wide range of papers and card that are further worked on to create patterned and textured surfaces. They are then used to build scenes in box frames which are often complex and consist of many layers. This process means that each item of work is truly individual with no two pieces the same.Influenced by the natural world each piece is manipulated to become an intriguing place, a glimpse into another world of fiction and fairytale.

Each piece of work is handmade in my studio in the North West of the U.K.
If you would like to purchase a piece of work featured on this site or to
commission a new piece please email me at mail@helenmusselwhite.com to discuss your requirements.


If anyone would like to buy me a birthday present, feel free to contact her and have one made for me. I will accept it with a big smile and quite possibly a big hug and a kiss. Haha. Just kidding... or am I? (Nope, I'm not.)
