I have always loved this idea of taking something discarded and giving it a new life so it is no wonder that the majority of my art is created from things found in the trash or washed up on a beach. I am a mosaic artist who currently lives in Huntington Beach, CA. As an avid beach comber, I have found a lot of what I use washed up on shore at my local beach but I have also found many things in neighborhood trash bins or remodeling project dumpsters.
