Paper Cuts - Lorraine Nam
Talented Lorraine Nam will soon be graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design. Cut paper is her preferred medium. She creates such fine detail... it causes me to look and look again, all the while imagining a story that lies within the piece.

She tells me she doesn't have any plans for after graduation, other than moving to New York. "... the rest is up to hard work and luck, I guess!"
I think the lines of Lorraine's bold and honest self portrait speak of her determination to succeed.
