Reina Takahashi is Crafting Clean and Polished Foood-Inspired Paper Art

If you think that food and paper art don’t mix well together, it’s only because you haven’t stumbled upon the right artist. Reina Takahashi will knock you off your feet with her clean and polished paper creations, often inspired by our favorite tasty treats.

Takahashi studied graphic design in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and spent some time working full-time as a designer before discovering her love for paper art in her free time. She kept working as a designer in San Francisco while exploring her newfound passion on the side.

“I absolutely love working in cut paper. Paper is such a ubiquitous, seemingly simple material, but there’s so much you can do with it—fold, cut, crease—to get your desired outcome. It opens up doors for experimenting too,” Takahashi told Ball Pit Magazine.

Takahashi’s art significantly evolved over the years, and she started incorporating graphic design and 3D art into her paper creations. She also went on to explore many different subjects, from typography to our favorite—food.

She started crafting amazing food-inspired paper art as a part of her #100PaperBreakfast project, and she’s showing no signs of stopping. From eggs and bacon to pancakes and cereal, Takahashi’s breakfast-inspired art is really letting the fulness of her talent shine through.
