I repurpose materials in my art. For my jewelry, I use leather and suede jackets that I get from thrift stores, as well as vintage tins. I deconstruct these materials and break them down into pieces I can use for my jewelry. Everything is cut by hand. In my upcycled wall art, I use thrifted picture frames and fabric samples that I make into mountain scapes. I also use some of my discarded tin pieces to make them into wall hangings.
