Beauty In Decay - Rust Art
This is a piece of burnt scrap wood with a rusted metal cable which I used to make into a tree trunk with small pieces of rusty metal to create foliage. I used the wood, resin and rusted cable and metal. I worked on this piece during the California wildfires as I thought of the burning forests and homes.

Bio
I have been interested in art since I was a small child. I earned an Associates Degree in Commercial Art from Bryant &Stratton in 1989. In the last 20 years I have done freelance artwork which included portraits in charcoal and watercolor and works of art in acrylic on canvas and mixed media. I have had my artwork featured in The Buffalo Parade of Homes 2000 as well as participated in art shows at Tonawanda Castle in 2005. I had a solo exhibition of my work in 2019 at The Lock Keeper Coffee House and I organized a drive by art parade in May of 2020 where 28 of my paintings were set up outside for people to drive by and view. I have several (11) of my works currently on display at the Linde Engineering campus in Tonawanda, NY. I have taught various art classes in acrylic painting as well as the use of alcohol inks to create greeting cards since 2016. I recently opened VibeRant Art Studio in the Bewley Building in Lockport where I work on my art and teach paint classes.
