About Upcycled & Sustainable Art

Whether you have a pair of scuffed sneakers you want to revive or a pile of ‘junk’ you’re not ready to discard, I work with what you already have. We’ll chat about your vision, and I’ll use weather-resistant fabric paints or structural upcycling to turn those items into something uniquely yours, without needing to buy anything new.
