This seasonally rotating show at the reCreate gallery in the Resource Exchange features local artists who make material reuse and/or environmental themes as integral part of their creative process.

My piece, “Still Life with Bee”, 23” x 19”, is a fresh and vibrant acrylic painting over a very tired old still life floral picture on particle board. I wanted to repurpose this piece as I love the pewter-colored frame and breathe new life into it. The Japanese paper (tablecloth) was sourced from the Resource Exchange.
