Winners of the first annual A.R.T. Art Recycled from Trash juried exhibit were announced at the June 16th, 2010 awards ceremony at Picture This Gallery, Hilton Head, SC. The well-attended reception provided an exciting opportunity for attendees to meet the jurors and regional artists in attendance.
Second place was awarded to Susan Lenz for “Leaf Dress,” a 'green' garment made entirely of collected leaves and petals from artificial cemetery flowers. It was created on a water-soluble base using hand and free motion machine stitching, paired with dyed-to-match recycled shoes. Susan is an exceptionally talented, dedicated artist. Keep an eye on her, she is going places!
