FLORA Artwork

My mixed media pieces are made of found objects, repurposed hardware, and old treasures. I source my materials from flea markets, estate sales, antique shops, and donations, delighting in the hunt for unique items that have been forgotten or discarded. Each object I find carries its own history and character, which I carefully consider as I decide how it will fit into my work. Mindfully selecting each piece is a very meditative process for me. Much like a painter choosing their colors, I take my time sifting through my collection of materials in my studio, looking for the perfect elements to bring my vision to life. This process allows me to connect deeply with each item, understanding its past and imagining its potential within a new context. Reusing and repurposing materials is central to my practice. I believe in the importance of leaving no waste behind, and I strive to give every part of an item a new purpose. By transforming these forgotten objects into meaningful artworks, I am able to breathe new life into them, allowing them to tell new stories and evoke new emotions. My work is not just about the physical act of creation; it’s also about the journey of discovery and transformation. Each piece I create is a reflection of my belief that beauty can be found in the overlooked and the discarded. Through my art, I hope to inspire others to see the potential in the mundane and the forgotten, and to appreciate the value of repurposing and renewal.
