and incomplete things come together in an
unexpected and imaginative way, a distinct
plainness becomes a raw form of beauty.
Who would have thought a pull-tab or bottle
cap could be repurposed as a fish gill? Or
a broken coat hanger serve as the outline
of a bird?
By rescuing these forgotten items from the
streets and beaches of Charleston, I am
doing my part to keep these things from
polluting the landfills, streets and waterways.
I hope to challenge viewers to see if they
can locate various discarded items and gain
new appreciation for their artistic purpose.
As a Southern artist, I am always looking
forward to finding new opportunities and
new audiences to share and exhibit my art.
Hospitals, organic grocery stores, libraries
and courthouses throughout Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina have acquired
my work.
