Mixed Media/Fiber Artist, for over 20 years. Specialties: I like to call my work "art made from repurposed materials" but with so many non-artists not quite understanding quite yet what repurposed means, it’s easier to say "art made from recycled materials." In my repurposed line, I try to create unique handmade items from upcycled trash, while trying to reduce the impact of environmental waste. I create items such as dog & cat collars & leashes, luggage tags, wallets, cuffs, id lanyards, journals, etc from recycled materials such as soda bottle wrappers, beer labels, chip bags, candy wrappers and coffee packaging. I'm also a fiber artist, who hand-dyes all of the bamboo poplin and organic muslin found in the backing of my recycled art.
