Leftovers: an art endeavor that creates a bright new purpose for yesterday's scraps.
Putting my own personal twist on "upcycling," I create solar-powered ART LAMPS for outdoors by repurposing materials from thrift stores, yard sales, bicycle and tire shops. With repeating patterns, layers, light, and reflection, the whole far exceeds the sum of its parts. Since our homes are overfilled with art, I seek to adorn the patio, porch, gate, shed, and pathway with purposeful light and entertaining patterns. My vision includes being as green as possible, using only locally-sourced materials to minimize carbon footprint, and the lamps are powered by solar-- no bulky extension cords and the lamps can be left unattended with no risk of fire. The solar-powered lamps work well in a sunny yard, and transform the pleasing daytime designs into inflated nighttime patterns, casting influence over an extended area. Whimsy often finds its way into my lamps. Each ART LAMP is one-of-a-kind! Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SolarArtLamps
