Frond Artist

Uncommon thinkers reuse what common thinkers refuse. — J.R.D. Tata

Whether an uncommon thinker or just a seeker of uncommon art materials, I transform Florida’s very common cast-offs into whimsical creatures.

Here in Florida, we step over them, swerve to avoid hitting them, and pile them at the curb for collection.

But one day, I picked one up and studied it – really looked at it. And at that moment I fell in love with palm fronds.

I always challenge myself to use as much of the palm tree as possible, while relying solely on pieces that have dropped from the tree or cuttings from landscapers.
