The Art of Recycling

"Treasure" the Carousel / Garden Horse

(made from my grandsons old rocking horse; my Mom's old costume jewelry; and found objects)

I am an artist. I have been a creative soul for as long as I can remember.  

I am a recycler. We love our environment. We hate waste. My multi-media creations obviously are derived from this trait.

I am a gardener. A very SERIOUS gardener. I adore flowers, lots of color, and LOTS of fun yard art.

I am a junk specialist. My degree has come from many years of accumulation.

 All of the above has evolved into the Art of Recycling.

It's Hypertufa using every day items to create unusual pots, garden art, lanterns, and water features.

It's assemblages. Using found objects or sentimental pieces to create personal and unique art.

It's sculptures. From miniatures and jewelry to water fountains and carousel horses for the garden.

It's mosaics. A natural progression for a junk / sculptor / concrete artist.

I am a totally southern, extremely amusing, hardheaded, penny pinchin' woman that sees a continuous stream of creativity in what others discard. Most of all, I see the creativity in people. (Probably years of working with volunteers and watching talent abound when given the opportunity) After years of public speaking it has all come together. I have become a teacher, speaker and garden coach. I love to share. Share with me...........The Art of Recycling.
