My Recycled Art is made from a variety of materials: decorative tins, bottlecaps, old tin ceilings, and tin roofing. From this recycled tin, I fashion lamp shades, mirror frames, quilts, concho belts, earrings and other jewelry, and ornaments.
I am also a printmaker. My monotypes are often remarked with recycled materials as well.
A small selection of my work is shown on this page.
If you have questions, or would like more information, I'd love to hear from you. My contact information is at the bottom of the page.
Thanks for visiting. Come back soon!

I hope you enjoy this sample of my work. Some of the items shown have been sold, but I have many more pieces of all types. It's impossible to display a large and ever-changing inventory on a single page!
Custom pieces can be made to order. I can use your favorite tins, make them to a specified theme, color scheme, or size. My studio has thousands of tins, flattened and ready to be made into the artwork of your dreams.
Does your company uses a bottlecap, decorative tin, or tin signs? I make items for corporate gifts, promotion, or office decor.
I welcome inquiries from galleries and about wholesale accounts.
Whatever your needs, whether you're interested in seeing more of my work, want to inquire about a custom piece, or just want to talk about my work, please get in touch.
