I create images made from cut up pop and beer cans, nailed to plywood. I build an image from a photo, the cans are cut up into mosaic pieces and nailed piece by piece, layer by layer to create the image. Using pop and beer cans provides an amazing palette to create with. Unlike a painter I cannot blend, tint, or change colors to create depth, light, shade or form. I like the challenge of using a can’s, colors, patterns, text and surface to create depth, light, shade and form. I am also a glass artist, my Garden and Lollipop flowers are a fun and colorful way to add color to the home and garden year round.
