Upcycling discarded items from thrift store shelves stirs my imagination. My process is simple: I use repurposed picture frames to surround my canvases of sheet music, dictionary pages, brown bags or handmade fine papers. I then apply my image, which I carve out of wooden blocks from my kindling pile. Matching these discarded objects with one of my carvings ignites my artistic expression. Each print is unique and breathes new life into the materials that had once been forgotten.
