Angie Pickman is a nationally recognized cut paper artist known for combining traditional paper cutting with collage to create intricately detailed works of art and animations. Her work is inspired by the natural beauty and tranquility of rural Kansas.

Pickman has been featured in Midwest Living and Martha Stewart Living magazines, and her animation work appears in the PBS documentary Daughters of the Forest (2016). In 2018, she released her first children’s book, Merry Menagerie – Animal Antics from A to Z, and she has won numerous awards, including an Independent Music Award for album art.

She earned her master’s degree from NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2004, where she discovered the work of silhouette animation pioneer Lotte Reiniger, which inspired her to pursue paper cutting as her artistic medium.

Born and raised in Atchison, Kansas, Pickman now maintains her studio in Lawrence, KS, where she continues to create her intricate, nature-inspired works.
