I made these collages with my brain and hands and heart. I picked out words and images in hopes of inspiring people to live happy and healthy lives. I used materials I salvaged from trash cans and recycling bins and bought from thrift stores. If you like one of my collages, you can buy it and hang it where you will see it every day.
