Aurel Schmidt is a 26 year old artist who moved from Vancouver to New York a few years ago. Her immaculate drawings exhibit exquisite detail. She creates wacky images using bits and pieces of leaves, bugs, butterflies, and other elements from nature. Many of the images are quite beautiful from a distance, and then you're thrown for a loop when you get up close and see that the bigger image is created with groupings of tiny bugs.See an interview with Aural and more of her work here.
