*********************************************
I live in the USA midwest and my biggest passions are nature, wildlife, and art making --often with recycled materials.

Once, I spent decades in a variety of successful positions--illustrator, graphic designer, animator, and art educator. I got burnt out and decided I had to make my own art. Now, I AM living the dream--creating what I want-- and selling to the world.

I love to recycle and challenge myself to create art out of trash -- nothing thought of as having any lasting value. Found objects of the woods, garbage dumpsters, sidewalk, and recycling bins can find themselves reborn into my art.

Favorite Materials
Aluminum CANS, natural, found, earth, clay, paper, recycled, metal, bones, feathers, wood, fiber, plastic, paint, any old stuff nobody wants.

I created 3 wonderful groups on Flickr:

"PET Bottle and other Plastics Recycled Creativity "
www.flickr.com/groups/plastic/

"Fan>TAB>ulous"
flickr.com/groups/tab_art/

"Cardboard Tubes ReCrafted"
www.flickr.com/groups/cardboard_tubes/

I am now the administrator of this exciting group too:
>>>Recycled Jewellery<<< is here:

All 4 are about reUSE, and reCYCLING in creative ways. Please visit them and be inspired~~~!
