ALOHA!

Paper Mosaics
(Upcycled Art)

My paper mosaics are made by using recycled magazine paper and process-ink brochures to create the look of hand-made and hand-glazed tiles on deep canvas. They are UV-lacquered with archival spray 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.

NO SHIPPING FEES! If you still don't feel comfortable making it out to an art show, no worries! You can shop off this website for the same price as what I offer my work at the shows, and pay no shipping fees (unless of course, you're an international customer...then I gotta add fees....)

If you're buying a piece of art as a gift, I can mail it directly to them, saving you a trip to the post office!
Just let me know their address, and I'll send it to them.
