My love of nature and art, and my desire to preserve Earth’s natural resources, have stimulated me to pursue a form of ecological art, created from scores of used magazine pages that are color sorted, hand-torn and fashioned into a nature mosaic. Culling old magazines for usable colors and textures is an ongoing process. Pulling the palette and artfully applying pieces to render a bold composition takes many hours. Recycling does not stop at the magazines - I often seek and repurpose an appropriate frame and backboard for the new Earth-friendly piece.  The results are unique and TEARriffic! 

     Following are a selection of my recent creative works (adjusted from time-to-time during occasional web-site updates).  Several are on display at Made 2 Order in Islamorada, Florida. I will consider creating a particular creature and size mosaic if you have something in mind. Just drop me a note.   - Shelley Schenker
