Uncommon thinkers reuse what common thinkers refuse. — J.R.D. Tata
Whether an uncommon thinker or just a seeker of uncommon art materials, Frond Artist Peggy Roberts transforms Florida’s very common cast-offs into whimsical creatures.
Peggy repurposes most parts of palm trees – from palm fronds and seed pods to their leaves and sawdust, metamorphosing them with a scroll saw and acrylic paints, and adding eyelashes, manes, and other features also from palm tree parts.
Hailing from Bradenton, Florida, Peggy continues to be influenced by the area’s many and varied palm trees and to be inspired by the opportunity to excite others about her repurposed artwork.
