Working from original drawings, Nye creates her colorful pictures by cutting thousands of pieces of hand-painted paper of various weights and types. The papers all start out white, and she dips, stamps, prints, and glazes with acrylic paints to achieve interesting patterns. She then cuts the papers to the shapes in her original drawings to fashion a style that’s reminiscent of Eric Carle’s or Leo Lionni’s work.
