As a primarily self taught, outsider UPCYCLE artist, I find inspiration in the everyday objects we often dismiss as "garbage."
My mission is to transform potentially wasted materials into thought-provoking pieces
that inspire conversation & evoke emotion.
Each piece I create requires a unique set of skills
and a boundless creativity,
allowing me to explore new techniques
and ideas with every artwork.
There are no rules in Sandhi-land!
Art has the power to tell a story and
potentially change the world;
precisely what I aim to do with every piece
I create!

PAPER MOSAICS - JUNK MAIL COLLAGES
A technique I "invented" in 2001
a true testament to good, old fashioned slow art -
analog skills like drawing, painting, creating compositions, making shapes, cutting and embellishing by hand.
Beginning with a sketch or painting,
I use very laborious and intricate skills to upcycle paper:
advertisements,  junk mail or packaging
into a cohesive and recognizable likeness
or abstract composition.
The paper itself, is inconsequential. The source of material is immaterial.
The nuances in color, typography and texture...
draw the eye in; then the brain consolidates the miscellanea...
creating a unique and captivating image that is sure to spark conversation.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS ​PAINTINGS
Drawn with pencil, marker, canvas splashed with ink, watercolor, sprayed, dripped, painted, embellished, sometimes with upcycled paper!​

ABSTRACTS and ASSEMBLAGES
Always discovering and experimenting in a variety of mediums

I HAVE NO LIMITS!
I create a variety of images -- abstracts, fantasy flora and fauna, shapes, objects that are interesting.
Paint, glue, dryer lint, sand, cleaning supplies, glitter, glass, etc. could be incorporated into shape and texture studies.
