Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a hand-cut paper artist that creates artworks commemorating your most heartfelt moments.
I’ve crafted hundreds of portraits for families just like yours, bringing your special stories to life- in paper!
Here are some examples of the moments I’ve created with my customers:
- Homes
- New family members
- Memorializing a loved one
- Engagements and weddings
How Does the Process Work?
Step 1: You share your creative vision for your paper portrait
- Send me your reference photos (clear & up-close images)
- I can recreate an existing photo or create a new scene from multiple photos
- ‘Petit’ details are my speciality. If you’d like a special item or memory hidden within your piece, let me know!
Step 2: I study, paint, cut and arrange your unique, one of a kind artwork
- I spend hours studying faces, and researching locations/landmarks that I am asked to illustrate
- I spend many hours with each family I work with. The ‘Classic’ size takes me about 20+hrs to complete, where the largest size is around 40+ hours
Step 3: Once completed, I email you photos of your finished Petit Paper portrait, so you can see it before the next step.
Step 4: Your framed Petit Portrait is all glued down and ready to hang for all to see!
