I Quit My Boring Office Job To Start Making Mini Paintings On Recycled Wood

ADVERTISEMENT

Growing up surrounded by trees, I’ve found a deep affinity for the life force present in the natural world. For years I worked long monotonous hours in the city, in front of a computer, and felt like I was contradicting my very existence. So, five months ago, I decided to make a change.

Today most of my time is spent making mini paintings and wood-burned pieces on recycled and free fallen wood. When there is no fallen branches from the trees around our house, I turn to my neighbors and community. Thankfully, there has not been a shortage on materials waiting to be re-purposed.

I love working small, it creates an intimate experience between myself and the natural world. I have learned to appreciate the process of crafting and have come to adore the unique quirks in nature, working to enhance its beauty, instead of forcing my own concepts.

    My husband did this for many years before he had a subarachnoid Haemorrhage and became totally dependent. He made pictures house names and numbers, key reings, jewelery, messages and lots of other things, all on recycled wood. They were very popular at craft shows
