About BBpapercuts
Barbara Burke is a Dublin based papercut artist with a passion for maps.
Having graduated from the College of Marketing and Design, I worked as an interior design architect in the USA and Ireland for over 30 years. I came across the art of papercutting in the Middle East and remembered that I used papercutting techniques while in college for textile printing and model-making. Using a simple and natural material like paper appealed to me and with my background in technical drawing I found myself thinking about how to design and make papercut art that people would enjoy.
