Bovey Lee has been painting, drawing and practicing calligraphy since the age of ten.

After practicing digital arts for years, she began to miss creating with her hands.

In 2005, Lee created her first cut paper work.

My creative process is three-fold hand drawing, digital rendering, and hand cutting, Bovey Lee explains.

Typically, I develop drawings before making a digital template on the computer.

After completing the template, I print it out and use it as a positioning and visual guide.

The final step is to spend lots of hours, hand cutting the image.

I define what I do as drawing with a knife.
