Manitoulin, souvenir miniature paintings, 5"X5", exterior acrylic on recycled wood, UV proof glossy topcoat, 2022. Some examples of work I create using Reused & Recycled materials, such as salvaged wood and left over house paint. I enjoy creating under the banner of - Action for the Environment. Using salvaged, 2nd life art supplies reduces my demand for buying newly manufactured commodity items. This work is a lot of fun to envision & make. It enables me to participate in the life of local community, by appearing on the shelves of gift shops and outdoor market stalls. I really enjoy being part of grassroots activities.
