“One of the most attractive things about the flowers is their beautiful reserve.” Henry David Thoreau in his Journal.
Susan Ryder produces extraordinary flower creations by folding and cutting bond paper. Her flower art was on display last year at the Newton Free Library. These paper flowers demonstrate an innovative way to create fanciful depictions of nature.
