Not only an incredibly talented artist and teacher, but she has been a mentor to me at times--so helpful and kind. I am honored to know her, and continually wowed by her never ending creativity. I am also thrilled by this blog...and its celebration of those who work with "trash" and "found" materials. Thank you so much Love & Trash !!!!!!

The blue girl is my favorite too. So touching and awesome, it isn't about the materials at all. I think a lot of trash artists (including yours truly) are still stuck on showing off the materials, instead of just making art. Yes! The blue girl is my favorite too.
