Anna Wili Highfield is an Australian paper sculptor. While pregnant with her daughter and in need of decorating the barren room, she was inspired to construct her first fairy wren. Her life size animals are created through a process: first she applies a multilayered stain and wash to cotton paper, then the paper is torn, and finally the scraps are sew together. The best lesson Anna has learned along the way is "to spend more time making than thinking". She was influenced by the several years she spent as a scenic artist at Opera Australia and her father, a puppeteer.
