ABOUT

About My Work:

I am a self taught artist who works with lost, tossed and forgotten items that are left by the roadside, buried in an old barn, or deposited at the local scrap yard. Working with what most people would consider 'trash' is challenging and fulfilling. There is nothing quite like finding unique objects that have been weathered and beaten up by life and creating functional art out of it, giving it a 2nd life.My work ranges from Mixed Media Wall Art, Limited Edition Clocks, candle holders, trays, tables and vase/containers and found object flowers. Aside from photography, paint and most of the hardware, I use as much reclaimed materials as possible. This includes: found metal, wood, plastic, rubber and pipe.Visit my Etsy store to see my art and functional works. And visit my other Etsy store to see my found object flowers.
Artist Statement

Artist Statement:When I search for new materials to work with I never know what I am going to find or how it will be incorporated into a piece. I am attracted to rusty metal, old relics from a local farm or abandoned buildings and scrap yards. Months or longer may go by before everything falls into place. It is magical to me how various shapes and sizes all manage to fit into a cohesive unit, be it complimenting a photograph from another time and place, adding to a Puzzle Assemblage or serving as a bauble for a RR Plate.Why do I use the materials I do? I think it is my attraction to the unknown and the disused. Working with pieces of metal that no longer appear to have any purpose brings out a very base desire in me to make them useful once again. Found objects, especially those that have been weathered by the elements and time are beautiful. Implementing these objects into my work is how I satisfy my need to make them 'functional' and beautiful all in one. Whenever possible I use reclaimed hardware, wood, or other such materials. The most satisfying part about creating the pieces that I do is the time spent with the objects themselves, the journey of discovering what is possible and what I myself am capable of appears to be endless. For me it is nothing more than a reflection of self. It is a collision of the past, the unwanted, and embracing what is here and what is now. It is my language and I am starting to listen to it. Starting to speak it. It is a journey I plan on taking for the rest of my life.
