Posted on June 14, 2021 by reclaimedroom Standard Reply

Artist Statement

I remember loving to mix flower petals in water for color mixing. My mother is an artist who always encouraged us to draw and paint. In high school, we were fortunate to have a prospering art department and I wove on a loom, forged metal, and crafted an enamel ring.
I wanted to attend art college in New York City, but my high school counselor recommended becoming a florist or accountant. Like others, I was told to get a career and then pursue your art. Eventually I landed on nursing and attended Russell Sage College. During my college years, I went to Bermuda and felt like Winslow Homer painting watercolors there.
Since then, I have been doing art in some form and taking classes. Here at City College, I started with oils. I currently study painting with Larry Robinson at Oakdale Studios.
Along the way, I took up the art of tiling and have designed three bathrooms, my kitchen, and numerous other nooks and crannies. During a recent visit to Building Resources, I saw tile as an irresistible blank canvas. I knew immediately that I had to paint vintage robots on them. So here we are.

Home Decorator Showcase

Posted on May 1, 2014 by reclaimedroom Standard 1

One of the great products made and available at Building REsources is RED SHOVEL GLASS. Red shovel glass polishes and smoothes recycled glass, mirror and wine bottles to create amazing, beautify landscape material. Similar to the effect of the ocean waves over decades on glass debris, only much much faster with the use of specially crafted cement shakers that take the raw materials and wear them down in record time.

Now on display as part of the San Francisco Decorator Showcase, Red Shovel glass can be seen in use and in full effect. The San Francisco Home Decorator Showcase goes on until May 26th. It is located at 3660 Jackson Street and open to the public for viewing. Go check it out while you can and consider what YOU could do with this wonderful material in your own front or backyard.
