I remember that from childhood I experienced admiration, enthusiastically watching how the artist's masterful hands cut out fragile silhouettes of people from paper, as if scissors outlined the curves of the nose, lips, forehead and even eyelashes of the person being portrayed. And then this portrait cut out in profile was glued to a postcard, and the person had such a memory. Artist Jenny Lee Fowler has perfected this skill so that she can carve a human silhouette not only from white and colored paper, but even from ordinary leaves growing on trees.
Jenny Lee Fowler has been carving with scissors since childhood, at first these were snowflakes, the design of which became more and more complex and intricate, then the artist began to carve portraits and silhouettes of people. The artist has not only a huge number of silhouettes from leaves, paper, tree bark, she also created whole silhouette stories with many characters.
Leaf profiles are placed under glass and stored in such a way that protects them from the sun's rays and from scattering, because over time the rain will change color, and there is a risk that they can simply crumble when the leaf becomes completely dry. Leaf silhouettes by artist Jenny Lee Fowler can be purchased from $ 20 to $ 50 per portrait.
