Transforming dumpsters into art one photograph at a time.

Purple-ish textiles dyed with logwood, acorns from my backyard, and iron plus found textiles and favorites from my favorite quilting store in Sisters, Oregon.

Here’s a look at how I created part of Death Valley’s Marble Canyon in the studio. Swipe to see some of the materials I used to recreate those striking, purplish rock formations—and a look at how it all came together.

My FAVORITE materials —fabric hand-dyed in the studio using dye extracted from Logwood and Acorns. I love the deep, rich mineral tones and the organic markings created from the dye bath. Each paper and strip of fabric is unique and made right here in my studio!!!!

I layered in various textiles I’ve collected over the years, giving the canyon walls a tactile, physical dimension rich in texture — while also saving textiles from going into landfills.

Watch the layering process in action. Building these textures takes patience, but seeing the canyon take shape is incredibly rewarding. ✂️✨

Are you more drawn to the paper textures or the fabric layers? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Next up: more about my handmade paper and the golden textile I used (from a wedding dress!). Stay tuned!

This week I start working on a collage piece inspired by a hike through Marble Canyon where rain soaked rock formations glistened in the sunlight.

This piece will be on exhibit at Spalding Nix Fine Art as part of their Ensemble show this November. Hope to see you there! 🎨

Inspired by a trip to the in October of 2024.

I create my own handmade papers dyed using food and plant. To create bark colors I used ☕️ ground, 🥀 petals, turmeric, and 🍵. Papers are torn and painstakingly layered to create richly textured trees.

Today is cleaning day which involves the tedious process of sorting scraps into different bins:

📸 original photographs
👕 textiles
📄 handmade paper
🥑 hand-dyed fabric
🎁 decorative papers
◽️ paper from back of fusable interfacing

I try to reuse everything, as part of a later project or for making paper.

Stay tuned to see what new work I created for J. Petter Galleries and Spalding Nix Fine Art.

A treasured landscape on the left, rebuilt entirely from photos of dumpster walls on the right. 🗑️✨ Swipe to see the dumpster walls that were used to recreate this image featuring Saugatuck, Michigan.

No AI prompts. Just raw Photoshop compositing used to explore the heavy reality of human consumption and waste on the environments we love.

🗓️ This piece will be coming to J. Petter Galleries on the Art Coast of Michigan on September 12th. Hope to see you there!
