ALOHA!

Paper Mosaics
(Upcycled Art)

My paper mosaics are made by using recycled magazine ads to create the look of hand-made and hand-glazed tiles on deep canvas. They are UV-lacquered to completely seal the work and eliminate susceptibility to humidity or fading. I add a three-dimensional look using a plasticized paper glue on the finished piece. Each original work of art has an inspirational quote written around the side. This little guy to the right is Ollie. He's one of my favorite images. He's just so darned happy.

Note: Only some of my 12 X 12 pieces are on this site. Primarily because I scan in my images rather than photograph them, and my scanner only works up to 11 X 17. If you are interested in anything you have seen before at a festival, please message me.
