(KAIR)--An Atchison native is one of seven Kansas artists added to the official Kansas Touring Roster.

According to a news release from the Kansas Department of Commerce, the decision for inclusion was made by the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission, with each selected artist recommended by a panel of their peers.

Named to the roster is Angie Pickman, a 1997 graduate of Atchison's Mount Saint Scholastica, now known as Maur Hill-Mount Academy.

Pickman, based in Lawrence, is a nationally recognized cut paper artist that “combines the art of traditional paper cutting with collage to create intricately detailed works of art and animations.”

Her animation was featured in the 2016 PBS documentary “Daughters of the Forest,” while her other work is exhibited at galleries and art fairs across the nation.

An instructor of various art classes and workshops, Pickman has also been featured in “Midwest Living” and “Martha Stewart Living” magazines.

The Kansas Touring Roster is comprised of approved artists who are required to perform outside their community regularly.

They appear at schools, provide workshops, lectures, or other educational services and short performances.
