Born in Cuba but settled in Los Angeles, Elsa Mora cuts simple sheets of paper to create magical, elaborate artworks. Mora developed her art while she was looking after her autistic child. She soon realized the value of being extremely patient and consistent, and these qualities show in her incredibly detailed papercut works.
