Happy New Year! I’ve been distant only because I’ve been busy!! Lots of stuff going on, lots of Etsy orders, and I’m prepping for my first show of 2013! It’s this Saturday at Renault Winery in Egg Harbor Twp for their Winter Wine Fest. On tap for the show: new small upcycled wine cork boards […]
Oh the irony… The same day, December 22nd, I set out to salvage wood debris that was once the old “Shack” on the LBI Causeway Bridge I got a last minute job to frame these for a friend to give to his mom for Xmas. I managed to salvage a whole truck load of wood […]
A couple of weeks ago, on a rainy afternoon, I was joined by Michaelle Bond, a graduate student at Columbia Journalism School. Michaelle and her fellow classmates set out to document life after Superstorm Sandy in NYC and along the Jersey Shore. Michaelle joined me to document my work to salvage wood, post-Sandy and the […]
