NAMED USING THE SEPTEMBER 2017 ISSUE, ESQUIRE MAGAZINE Acrylic on panel, colored pencil on paper, discarded bobber & 3M Hook, hand-braided wire, magazine clippings, matte medium. A cold winter afternoon I was busy coloring a page full of fish with colored pencils. As I neared the end, I suddenly thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if I cut these all out individually and made it look like they were swimming?" In spring, I painted the panel. However, I knew it wouldn't be complete with just the fish, so I dug through a drawer of found objects and found a discarded 3M wall hook. After removing the plastic backing, I affixed the hook to the panel. As luck would have it, my husband and I went kayaking the next day and I found an old fishing bobber in a tree. Careful not to fall out of my kayak or get hooked by the old line, I maneuvered myself under the low hanging branch and removed it. I finished this piece by hand-braiding wire to double as both fishing line and a hanging device.

It was my fifth grade teacher who taught me about environmentalism. In addition to pleading to the mayor of my hometown in a hand-written letter regarding deforestation, I remember driving my family members crazy as I timed the length of their showers to reduce water waste, and following behind them to turn off unused lights everywhere they went. As an adult, I worked to have recycling services added to apartment complexes and employers the like, and I constantly embrace new ways to reduce my carbon footprint. So, it's no surprise that my art focuses on the reduction of consumption and the reuse of discarded items. From broken machines to cut-off wood panels, glass food containers and garbage found in our lake, I attempt to make use of everything that's no longer needed in our household. In fact, my naming convention using cut-out words from magazines started because our 80-something neighbor gave us 17-year old magazines for no apparent reason. Now I collect magazines from various places. After scouring and removing all content helpful to my art, we even use the remaining paper product as kindling in our (formerly discarded) wood stove to heat the studio in winter. My goal is to not only reuse items that have outlasted their original purpose, but to pay homage to the original creations in the process, to make what's old new again, and to breathe life into objects long determined useless. As a graphic designer and photographer, my mixed-media art is an outlet for my creativity in the 3-dimensional world that enables me to combine my skills using a unique and fresh perspective that brings new meaning to the world. I truly hope to inspire others to do the same.
