The post Katie Brooks is Painting Tiny Masterpieces on Dried Leaves appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>Brooks has enjoyed collecting leaves for as long as she can remember, and her childhood notebooks were filled with them. She’s always been a creative soul and worked in galleries and classrooms where she was constantly surrounded by art, but it took a while for her to summon the courage to create her own.
Brooks’s signature project “100 Painted Leaves Collection” helped her rediscover her love for art. It involved painting a leaf each day for 100 days, and this growing collection helped her solidify her path as an artist.
Brooks’ artistic process starts with choosing leaves in the forest near her home in North Carolina, and it takes about a month for them to dry before she’s ready to prep them with acrylic gesso and get to painting.
“The leaves I paint are chosen based on a number of factors. Typically, I’m looking for sturdy, intact leaves with a good shape for my composition. However, sometimes the leaf itself determines the composition, especially if the location it comes from is part of the piece!” she writes on her official website.

]]>Lito Leaf, who never studied art or design, started doing leaf cutouts in 2020. After struggling in his corporate career due to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), he wanted to try out something that would help him turn his ability to focus on just one thing into strength.
After his initial works shared on social media received positive reactions from internet users, Lito Leaf decided to focus fully on leaf-cutting art. It proved to be a great move, as his popularity soon surged, and he currently has close to 600K followers on Instagram alone.
Additionally, his leaf cutouts were exhibited across his native Japan, and he also released a book containing his best works.
“I am happy that my work has become a part of many people’s lives, and I hope it continues to be so,” the artist shared in a recent interview.
