Katie Brooks is a talented landscape artist from North Carolina, who uses a pretty unusual canvas in her work. Instead of relying on paper like most of her peers, Brooks is collecting leaves in the woods near her home and transforming them into magical works of art that pay homage to their roots.

Brooks always knew she was going to be an artist, but getting there was easier said than done. She spent her childhood collecting leaves and creating art in her family living room, but committing to it full-time seemed like an uncertain and unstable choice, so she took her career in a different direction.

After years of being surrounded by art without actually making it, Brooks decided she couldn’t ignore her true calling any longer. She started painting landscapes on dried leaves, and her signature “100 Painted Leaves Collection” eventually helped her summon the courage to become an artist full-time after her tiny leaf paintings brought her joy that was missing from her life.

Most of her leaves hail from the woods near her home in North Carolina, and she always looks for sturdy, intact leaves with a good shape. She then presses the leaves in an old history book and lets them dry for about a month before prepping them with acrylic gesso and getting ready to paint on them.

Kanat Nurtazin’s artistic journey began 5 years ago when he started his own project called 100 methods of drawing, and according to the Kazakhstan-based artist, leaf-cutting art is one of his favorite; he creates drawings by cutting fallen leaves.

“Leaf’s life is fleeting so as our lives and I am giving a second life to them to discover an untold story”, artist shared on Bored Panda. “I simply imagine a bright moment that I want to share with my audience.”

Then, Nurtazin draw the picture on the leaf and cuts it with a razor. For him, the most important thing is to find the best suitable place to catch with his camera at the right time and right angle.

He shares his work on his Instagram account where he has a following of almost 10k people.

Трудно найти человека незнакомого с фотографией поцелуя моряка и медсестры. «Поцелуй на Таймс сквер» был запечатлен Альфредом Эйзенштадтом в 1945 году после капитуляции Японии. Спустя неделю фотография была опубликована на страницах журнала Life среди множества фотографий в 12-страничном разделе "Победа", на которых были засняты празднования победы по всей Америке. Фотография стала одним из самых узнаваемых фотоизображений XX века.  Теперь на месте этого поцелуя стоит скульптура целующейся парочки. Эйзенштадт при съемке не спросил имена героев. На площади было немало целующихся пар, а на фото невозможно рассмотреть лица. Поэтому почти 50 лет более 30 американцев претендовали на звание героев снимка. И только в 2012 году с помощью технологии распознавания лиц удалось подтвердить личности медсестры Греты Фридман и Джорджа Мендосы. Герои этой фотографии к сожалению ушли из жизни, но я уверен, что история фотографии на этом не закончится. Запечатлеть мгновение на века и на поколения – мечта каждого фотографа. А о чем мечтаете вы? #vjday #vjdaykiss #vjdayintimessquare #timessquarekiss #timessquare #astana #kazakhstan #life #newyork #newyorktimes
