Artist Biography
Brooke Pederson is a librarian on a small island in Washington State. She has been honing her paper cut artistry since childhood, cutting dozens of snowflakes for the Christmas season. She began designing and cutting stories into snowflakes as Christmas presents for friends. Her passion for paper cutting grew from there. In addition to art and crafting, she loves being a librarian, talking with kids about books, spending time with family, beachcombing for rocks naturally engraved and marked with question marks, and reading in companionable silence with her husband on a couch, on a beach, in a car, or most anywhere.
Brooke’s love and long-standing fascination for nature and narrative led her to combine them in a complex, unique way: intricate paper snowflakes.
