COYOTE MOON CREATIVE

Very simply put, my art seeks to express the subtle plays of light, color and energy found in nature. When I look out at the world around me, I see so many beautiful colors and I have come to realize that many others simply miss them or in growing up have forgotten how to see them altogether. The eyes of a child are so wonderful because they don’t seek to simplify everything to its most base nature, rather they let the full spectrum of spectacular beauty in.

It is my hope that when you look at one of my paintings, you will remember that pair of lenses you wore as a child. The ones that made the world a wondrous place full of new and exciting things. I hope you will feel an overflowing of joy and happiness as the colors dance in your mind’s eye and that they will leave a lasting impression so that you will remember how to find the subtle rainbows wherever you look.

My art is unique in that I create each piece using discarded plastic grocery bags which I gladly take off the hands of basically everyone I know. On average a small painting uses about one or two bags while the larger pieces can use up to four or five. The resulting texture is something of a psychedelic nature which I love and it adds a level of aliveness to my pieces that I felt was lacking in the past. While I am over the moon to be giving new life and beauty to other people’s trash, I find myself wanting to do more. After some thought, I decided that I would take a portion of the profit for each painting sold and donate it to an organization that is either cleaning up our planet or finding ways to solve the plastic crisis. It is my hope that’s as I begin to sell my pieces, I will be able to start a non profit of my own that aims to help heal our planet.
