Step into the wild with Paper Safari, a striking new exhibition by award-winning paper artist Sarah Lake. Known for her meticulous hand-cut creations, Sarah unveils a bold series of large-scale wildlife portraits that combine extraordinary precision with deep admiration for the natural world.
Each piece is crafted entirely by hand from layers of textured paper, magnifying the complexity and character of its animal subject. Paper Safari is both a celebration of craftsmanship and a tribute to the beauty of our planet’s wildlife.
You can find Sarah’s exhibition in the East Gallery at Mall Galleries. There’s no need to book, just show up and enjoy all the artwork we have on display as part of this year’s Wildlife Artist of the Year.
