Meghan Stratman Creates Telling Vingettes from Carefully-Cut Paper

Meghan Stratman

Nebras­ka-based artist Meghan Strat­man fash­ions her col­or­ful por­traits into telling vignettes, as if you were look­ing at a film still or a com­ic book pan­el. “I am drawn to sto­ries and lore in all forms,” she writes, “books, movies, video games, the­atre, myths, and urban leg­ends.” Sub­jects like ghosts, girls, mon­sters, and ani­mals are paired with themes of friend­ship and lone­li­ness, with a nod to urban decay and aban­doned spaces.

Meghan’s beau­ti­ful illus­tra­tions are craft­ed out of paper with some tiny details drawn using col­ored pen­cils. Look close­ly and you’ll see all of the care­ful­ly-cut shapes and speck­led paper. Lovely!
