Confetti artist's painstakingly precise work is spot on

Nikki Douthwaite’s art comes together just like a pointillist painting — minus the paint and brush. Instead, she uses colored paper dots stamped out with a hole punch. Up close, the pictures look like confetti. Step back, and the colors of the painstakingly placed dots mix, and the image comes into focus. It’s not just art for art’s sake: Douthwaite holds a Guinness World Record for the largest confetti mosaic for In Seine, a play on Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grande Jatte.
