Paper Mosaics
(Upcycled Art)

My paper mosaics are made by using recycled paper from magazines, junk mail and process-ink brochures to create the look of hand-made and hand-glazed tiles.

It is considered a folk art, whimsical style.

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 thicker paper resin on the finished piece. Each original work of art is signed and has an inspirational quote written around the side.

If you can't make 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.
