Your discards, transformed into something you'll keep forever.

I make one-of-a-kind art, clothing, and room redesigns from repurposed materials. Every piece has a story. None will exist again.

The work

Poster Print

A signed print made from original artwork. Each one photographed, printed on heavyweight matte paper, and numbered by hand. No two runs are the same.

Original Art Piece

One piece made from repurposed materials: a thrifted frame, a scrap of fabric, salvaged metal. The material history is part of the work. Commission available.

Upcycled Statement Jacket

Reconstructed from thrifted pieces. No two are cut the same. Each jacket includes a card naming its source materials. Custom sizing available on commission.

Wearable Art Top

Hand-altered tops with painted or appliqued original artwork. Made one at a time from thrifted base garments. Includes process card with the material origin story.

Room Redesign Consultation

A 3-hour session: we walk the space, talk about what you want it to feel like, and I sketch a redesign plan using existing pieces, repurposed finds, and handmade accents. You get a material map and sourcing list.

Custom Commission

Bring your materials, your story, or just a feeling. We build something from there. Scoped per project. Covers art pieces, clothing, and mixed-media work. Contact to start the conversation.

How a commission works

1

Tell me what you have in mind

Materials you want to use, a feeling, a space, or nothing yet.

2

I build something from it

Working from your materials or sourcing the right ones. No two pieces are the same.

3

It arrives with its full story

Every piece comes with a card naming the source materials.

About the artist

Every piece is traceable to where it started

I'm SJ. I keep notes on every material I work with: where it came from, what it was, how it ended up in the piece. That record is what makes the work honest. When something leaves my studio, you know exactly what it's made of.
