ABOUT THE TRADE

TRANSFORMING 2nd HAND INTO WEARABLE ART.

This brand celebrates the art of upcycling:

by blending mixed-media painting, sewing,

and a passion for thrift to create sustainable fashion where each piece finds its own unique story.


WHAT IS UPCYCLE ART?

Upcycle art is a form of creative expression that reimagines and repurposes discarded or unused materials into new works of art. Unlike traditional recycling, which breaks down materials into raw components, upcycling gives new life to existing objects by transforming them into something of higher value or quality. It celebrates ingenuity, resourcefulness, and sustainability, as artists breathe new life into old items, giving them new purpose and beauty. It invites viewers to reconsider the potential of everyday objects and encourages a deeper appreciation for the beauty that can be found in unexpected places.

My upcycle trade isn’t perfect. I incorporate new materials to complete my work often. Here’s a look into how some of my pieces have come together.
