What to do with junk mail


One of our newest artists at Translations Gallery is SA Schimmel Gold. Her brilliance comes from her idea to look for art materials in unusual places like her mailbox. All of that annoying junk mail that comes from Verizon and Comcast or even the hundreds of greeting cards that have piled up in your closet that you feel bad about throwing away can be used to create something. Yes, I'm sure Grandma took a long time to pick out that specific greeting card, so why not turn that $2.99 greeting card into a valuable work of art? This is SA Schimmel Gold's idea that led her to create an abundance of amazing pop-like portraits primarily of women.
