Creativity from the Mind of Karen Y. Buster

Karen is known for her signature black and white X-acto® Knife cut-outs. These intricate pieces of art are created by meticulously cutting each component of the design into a special film using a sharp blade. This unique method creates precision seldom achieved using traditional methods
The introduction of color in her signature cut-outs came via a dream based on a New Orleans jazz club scene. Karen’s grandmother always said... "When you dream, it's God that's talking to you." |
