Skull Butterfly

by Nicole Grosjean

This paper butterfly is part of my Fantasy Insect series, and would be a fantastic addition to any cabinet of curiosities. I hand-cut the butterfly from watercolor paper, painted it in gouache, and finished the piece with colorful metallic foil. It is framed in a 4″x6″ custom shadowbox, protected by glass and ready to hang with wire on the back.

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.
