About Dylan Metrano:
Dylan Metrano is a papercutting artist based in Bath, Maine. He spent many years living on Monhegan Island, ten miles off the coast of Maine, drawing inspiration from its centuries‐old buildings and migratory birds. Drawn to the simplicity of form, the boldness and relationships of colors, and the cleanness of composition, Dylan’s artwork is entirely composed of meticulously cut and carefully layered paper.
A self‐taught artist, his artwork has been featured on numerous album covers, book covers, posters, and in exhibitions throughout New England. In 2016, Scholastic published “Every Day Birds“, a children’s book which Dylan illustrated with his papercuttings.
