These final works are “votives” or “wishes”. Recovering a found or discarded object and making it special or more exotic, gives me the ability to not only transform “trash” into “treasure”, but symbolizes personal transformation and celebration of victory over adversity.

In the process of achieving these miracles, I hope to inspire the passion for beauty of transformation in life in all who connect with what I do.
