Here's a video clip of the puzzle being cut by hand on youtube (opens in new window) Michele Amatrula has a voice and vision unique amongst contemporary photorealist painters. Using skills honed during decades as a leading professional illustrator, she depicts small glimpses of unexpected beauty in everyday life. Her work stands out for both its unexpected subject matter and exquisite portrayal of light and shadow. Michele embraces wear and tear, melancholy moments, and faded glory. In her capable hands, these vintage bottle caps take on the evocative luster of the Dutch Masters.
