Pete Cromer

This picture book presents a selection of Australian bushland wildlife rendered as paper cut collages by Pete Cromer. Its pages hold eighteen portraits of birds, mammals and reptiles, chosen from work the artist is known for. Each creature is shown in a layered, handcrafted style that turns the animals into a kind of art gallery on the page.

The paper cut artworks have been brought together in one volume for the first time, so readers can see a full range of the artist's native animal subjects in one place. The book is aimed at anyone who enjoys animals or art, regardless of age.
