Dangerous Beauty

by Nicole Grosjean

A busy black widow spider is carefully spinning silken webs on belladonna blooms, in this miniature artwork. The piece is made from layers of laser cut and engraved paper, painted with watercolors and gouache. The webs are etched into museum glass, so they look suspended in the frame in most lights. This miniature artwork is only two inches square, encased in a beautifully unique handmade wooden frame. If you’re looking for an unusual artwork, this tiny widow is sure to weave a spell on you!

Nicole Grosjean

Nicole Grosjean graduated with a BFA in illustration from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver, Colorado in 2008. She combines her passions for fantasy and craftsmanship into unique, multi-layered works of art. To her, there is nothing more valuable than an object an artist has created with their own hands. She endeavors to build pieces that are not only illustrations, but wonderfully complex environments in their own right. Nicole is constantly trying new techniques and pushing the boundaries of materials and mediums to bring her visions to life.

Her sculptural illustrations are patterned from detailed drawings, hand-cut, and then layered to create various depths depending on the size of the piece. The layers are then painted in watercolor and gouache, and are often back lit with LED lights.
