Today, I'm delighted to bring you another installment of my "Get Smart About Art" series. Today I want to share paper cut illustrator Alice Lindstrom.
Her bio on her website says:
"Alice works in paper collage, using cut and paste techniques, painting and preparing the paper beforehand, before cutting and assembling it to create textured and painterly collages. Alice's aesthetic draws on diverse influences, including mid-century illustration and design, folk art as well as Modern art movements."
Here's a peek at some of her beautiful work:
In this short video you can see Alice Lindstrom in her studio working on some collages:
She has a long list of esteemed clients including: Penguin Random House New York, Disney, The City of Melbourne, MoMA, Penguin Random House Australia, Harper Collins Publishing, Soho House London, Victorian Women's Trust, Hardie Grant Publishing, T2, Little Hare Books, Scribble Books, Quarto Publishing, Frances Lincoln Books UK, ABC Radio National, Headspace Australia and NPR.

I really love her beautiful collages and I hope that you do too. If you do, let me know what you like about them. I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks for stopping by!
I didn’t know her before your article. Thank you for opening my eyes and brain to new artists. She’s quite remarkable!

Her work is incredible. What I love about it, is the detail in which she accomplishes her work. The very small pieces of collage paper that she uses to create the final piece is remarkable. Having dabbled in collage I know how difficult it is.
Thank you for sharing her with us.

Great sharing Julie, just got to know her and I’m in love already. I like how she has achieved depth and shadows in her paper collages! To my untrained eye, I wouldn’t have known they were paper collage at first glance. I got reminded of Dick Bruna’s work on Miffy, which is also created through paper collage, albeit in a much simpler style. His motivations behind that is to get solid colours, something that cannot be achieved through painting. Alice’s style on the other hand, uses paper that are painted (looks like it?), and the texture of those painted paper cut adds visual interest and makes the composition that much more interesting. Thanks for this awesome sharing!
