My art practice stems from a need to create beauty from that which has been discarded. Striving to lessen plastic pollution and overconsumption drives my creativity. Zero waste is the ultimate goal for my practice. Most of my materials come from daily life. I collect single-use plastic food packaging in my home, or clean up trash on my walks and bring it to my studio to transform it. Stitching and collaging is how I transform these repurposed materials.
I am on a mission to help other artists who struggle with knowing where to start using repurposed materials to achieve their creative vision.
