From Waste to Wonder
EXHIBITION :: 8/29 - 9/25
ARTIST RECEPTION :: 9/6, 5-8PM
Growing up, I was inspired by a lineage of crafters and scientific thinkers who instilled in me a reverence for repurposing and reinvention. By day, I design luxury homes, and by night, I salvage discarded materials from landfills, transforming them into artistic marvels. My work begins with rescued materials, manipulated with various mediums to reflect the beauty of the natural world. Bold colors and unconventional shapes influenced by architecture define my aesthetic, embracing imperfections. I invite you to explore my collection and engage with the interactive Play Sculpture table, where you can experiment and discover the beauty and joy in every creation.
