David Gardner

Dave Gardner has enjoyed recycling objects and materials his entire life. Always one to see potential in discarded, underused, or uncared for items, this also is projected in his outlook for life. He just takes things and makes them better. All of his artwork incorporates items, and reuses them a second or third time around.

Dave also sees this in the people that surround hin. He is positive, and is always looking for the inner personalities of those he includes in his inner circles.

While Dave takes great pride in creating new objects of art from recycling, he also is fascinated by close up photography, and creating balanced and striking prints from shat we normally just pass by.
