Seriously, I’m not even trying to be ironic. This tree is made out of junk mail, a telephone book and a box of used office paper. Then I coat it with nontoxic hardeners and paint.

This blog is late but better late than never, ae? I now have art hanging at Trieste on South First St. downtown San Jose. This show “2 in 1” showcases two styles art: a series of fantastic landscapes painted on canvas, and a series of three-dimensional shapes made from recycled materials.
The landscape paintings are part of an ongoing series that began many years ago.I continue to paint them because they inspire my imagination, enhance my feelings of happiness and calm, and stir my excitement to create.
The three-dimensional pieces represent my love of the Earth. Being a tree-hugger,I always reuse and recycle. This series of sculptures is made entirely from rescued materials. The core is made of Styrofoam collected from shipping packages, friends and even Dumpsters (which might be illegal, hmm). Then I apply a combination of old paint clothes, junk mail, phone books — basically anything with natural fibers headed for the trash. Dipping these flexible materials in non-toxic glue gives them strength to hold interesting shapes. Finally, the piece is finished with “Aqua Brand” textures and paint which are non-toxic. The result is an environmentally friendly piece of art. -
Slacking on the blog posts I have been. During April & May, my sanded style work was displayed at the beautiful & welcoming “Natural Look Spa”http://www.naturallookspa.com/. Kim, the owner, is helping artists by offering them the perfect place to show there work. -

The show at Borders is a combination of fantasy landscapes, a sanded piece and a new variation of the Gigeresque. It is a heavily textured painting made of rescued items that were heading towards the landfill. The piece is made of environmentally friendly products except the primer. If anyone knows of a friendly primer please leave a comment. This Borders is the one located at 361 West El Camino Real in Sunnyvale CA. -
