She quickly became fascinated with the art form and joined the Guild of American Papercutters to learn more. Washington found inspiration in Black history and culture, incorporating themes of identity and feminine beauty into her intricate paper-cut designs.

Washington's art stands out in the paper-cutting community for its unique perspective and storytelling. [Extracted from the article]
