From Trash to Treasure
My work began in a small-town thrift store that supports a local animal rescue. Surrounded by donated items others had given up on, I started seeing possibilities where most saw trash.
Using discarded picture frames, salvaged beads, and a whole lot of trial and error (plus a few scratches from stubborn chicken wire), I began creating one-of-a-kind suncatchers that bring light back into forgotten pieces.
When the sun hits the beads, they glow warm like stained glass and scatter sparkles across the room — a simple reminder that broken things can be made beautiful again.
Every piece I create is handcrafted, never mass-produced, and rooted in second chances — for materials, for animals, and for the homes that welcome my work.
