I have something delightfully unconventional to show you today! We'll explore the fascinating mixed-media world of Lilli Petri, an artist who creates her work in Germany's Black Forest. While she formally studied traditional art and painting, in recent years she has found immense joy by upcycling ordinary paper egg cartons into lively three-dimensional abstract canvases.
