The philosophy behind my work is as follows: The less litter we have on the streets and in landfills, the better. My message is meant to serve as a reminder that if we fail to take care of our planet, these "trash" flowers might be all we have left in the end.

My metal work is made completely from recycled materials: both found and donated items. A lot of the soda cans I feature in my art were once litter, now made into delicate works of art.

These roses are my most difficult to make, and some of my favorites. I will not be making tutorials for these - sorry!
