Artwork
Sales
The cut-paper artwork featured throughout the website is created
by the project's Founder and Director, Stephanie Flom. Each shape
is hand cut in a meditative guided process that Flom describes
as following the scissors. The Matisse-like cut paper artwork captures
the spirit of the natural world and is offered
for sale to support the project.
