The buzz about
- Bee's Hive
- Years ago when I had to decide between becoming a starving artist or pursuing an education that would “make me money”, I decided to give up painting and study communication design at Parsons School of Design. I don’t regret my decision because I met some amazing people, learned and lived. Without all these unique experiences I wouldn’t have discovered the love for creating eco-conscious pieces. I met my mentor those many years ago, Alexander Liberman. He once told me “a mistake is never a mistake when you see it as an opportunity to use your imagination.” My pieces are the “mistakes” that happen when salvaged, recycled, natural materials come together. I believe in respecting the materials I use by letting them speak for themselves. Embracing the tattered and disheveled quality of the materials is what I find beautiful and inspiring. My work is sometimes messy and imperfect, just like life, just like me, just like you. I reclaim garments, fabrics and found objects from my surroundings and send them off into the world utterly transformed. Recycled and always one of a kind.
