I am a plalker ( I pick up trash when I walk) and a multi-passionate maker.  Much of my work repurposes single use plastic and other consumer waste to create functional, decorative and wearable art.  Textiles, assemblages, jewelry, prints and ceramics.

My Mission. Join me.

I love this planet; its extraordinary natural beauty and the wildlife we share it with. Sadly, improperly discarded trash and a failed recycling system is wreaking havoc across the globe. Mismanaged waste, single use plastics, synthetic fiber, habits of overconsumption and the chemicals used in the manufacture and discarding of plastic is polluting our waterways, putting wildlife at risk, contaminating our food supply and threatening our future. Plastics have been found in the water we drink, the food we consume and the air we breathe.

Plastic and Pearls utilizes single-use plastic trash and other consumer waste like food packaging and plastic bags and repurposes them to create decorative and wearable works of art. My hope is that my work will help to raise awareness, inspire change and encourage others to treat our planet with the love and respect it deserves. Zero waste may be a tall order but less waste is something we can all aspire to.

Together we can make a difference!
