There are so many things around us that are beautiful, things we choose to throw away! Even after these common items have been used for their original purpose, they can pivot and become part of something new!
Looking around lately, I have found beauty in brightly colored lids, remnants of paint on my pallette, stains that have crept up the sides of the coffee filter. These things find a new purpose when their beauty is discovered!
Sometimes I think I need to be re-purposed, to find new meaning and direction when I feel stuck in my old ways of looking at and doing things! God, show me the beauty in every castaway.... you and I can make beauty from ashes together!
Check out my new series called "Re-purposed" on this site. You can see these new pieces in person on NOVEMBER 5th at Due North in Harlan for the Forgotten Artist show. There will be two other artists showing in the Due North Shop, Leasa Thompson's pottery and Joel North's Leather goods. The Brick Wall gallery will also be filled with artists showing their work... so come make a day of it and do some Art shopping!
Thanks for joining my journey!
