A self-taught paper cutting artist, Marie Beun describes her first interest in the craft as nothing but a voice in her head, like a calling. After thinking at first that such talent was innate and not taught, she worked for hours on end for a year in order to master this craft. Working so intensively confirmed her interest and talent for paper cutting, and she is now an accomplished craftswoman. Her creations are a way of expressing a world of imagination and dream-like images. She has always been fascinated by fairy tales, and describes them as allowing oneself a bit of dream in a sometimes thorny life. Paper cutting is more than an interest to Marie, it is a real passion and an addictive activity that she enjoys sharing through courses and exhibitions.
