Upcycled Smalls

Why upcycled smalls? Repurposing "smalls" is my passion! Smalls, is an interior design trade term for decorative items. I love to reimagine discarded or unused items into something new, useful and fun! Let's keep things out of the landfill! A chair back can become a jewelry holder! Old housing materials can become an art piece! An music cabinet lives on as a drinks bar... Be it an original art piece or a suitcase cat bed, I know you will find something fun at my studio for your gallery walls and home. For my intuitive style of abstract painting I rely on my gut, as well as my color theory training from my cosmetology career. Gorgeous textures, color layering, torn magazine images and maybe a little glitter.....makes its way into my abstract art ;) It is my hope that some old wood, abandoned canvases, thrifted pieces and yard sale 'smalls" will find a new home in yours or make that perfect gift for someone special in your life! Thank you for being curious about my work and I hope to meet you in one of my classes soon! Gretchen Maurer
