I up-cycle, recycle and creatively restore worn, discarded and vintage boxes into functional art. I sand, repair, rebuild when needed and then hand paint, collage and/or embellish my works with found objects including vintage buttons, letterpress block letters, pie tins, advertising rulers and other found objects. I also create mixed media found object assemblages, shadow boxes and small works on canvas. Each of my items is one of a kind and made from 80% or more up-cycled, recycled or reused objects.
