Lois Cordelia on YouTube:



"From intricate paper silhouettes, painstakingly cut by hand using a
surgical scalpel, to fast and furiously painted portraits and landscapes
in brilliant, dramatic colours, my artwork spans a vast spectrum
between precision and free-flowing energy."

(Below) The same paper-cut is now shown in stark silhouetted shadow
so that the sketch is no longer visible.
