About Vanessa Stone

Vanessa is a UK based cut paper collage artist making intricate and uplifting colourful collages that capture beautiful landscapes, buildings and fascinating interiors. In her garden based studio in the East Midlands, she paints onto delicate paper to create beautiful textures and vibrant colours, then uses fine little scissors to snip away shapes which I glue down and assemble together. All of this is to pare down and abstract to really get the essence of a time and a place.
