Happy Endings

When a treasured plate breaks, even the most distraught owner is consoled to have me animate the shards and give them a second incarnation as part of an art object. I do the same with family dishes that have sentimental value.

“EARTHQUAKE ART” – A broken cup and lid salvaged from a Los Angeles quake were ideal for creating a faux watering can.

"MEMORY ART" - A ceramic tip tray taken from a French bistro the night a couple agreed to get married was combined with Sango Storefront plates, whose menu listings complete the restaurant motif.

Grandma’s plates (shown in photo), treasured but rarely used, made for an elegant vase.

"OOPS ART" - An accident at a Thanksgiving dinner led to the vase that would be the centerpiece at the next holiday meal.
