Nicole Dayen Schuetz
Paper cutter
Troistorrents

« In each cutting, there is the "magic moment" when the work is finished and the paper is unfolded. »

Born in Conthey, Nicole Dayen Schutz has always loved to draw, create and work with her hands, cutting is a way to combine all her passions. Sensitive to nature, her cutouts represent the strength she finds in nature, sea, earth and sky. Since 2005, she has been practicing decoupage in her own style, a mixture of traditional and modernity. She likes to convey a message by incorporating a phrase into her cutouts.

« Cutting is giving life to paper. »

After a precise drawing, behind the paper and a few hours of cutting, she can savor the "magic moment", when she unfolds and discovers the result of her work. Some of its cutouts can be enlarged and laser cut on metal (see the Rottes roundabout in Conthey).
