I have a passion for recycling and bringing new life to old items. I love the transformation of trash into beautiful artwork. Recently, I have started to use this passion to create designs using torn magazine papers as a medium.

I get a lot of joy watching picking out textures and getting the right colors to create smooth gradients of shadows, mid-tones, and highlights. It’s a long and complicated process, but I find it’s getting easier over time and with each commission.

Here are a few samples of recent commissions created using only torn paper from old magazines.
