Green Artisans on the move!


Local Artisan Sue Mangan born in Ontario creates all of her pieces from collections from landfill sites. Sue finds unusal and very usable materials to work with and her creations are quite magnificent and very colorful. The ture beauty is in the green transformation that happens as something once considered someones trash has a new life to be cherished for many many years. These materials are in huge abundance all over our lands. It takes the right person with a global awareness to see the uses of our wasteful world. Every piece of Sues work is a one of a kind and no two will ever be the same. Never a shortage of waste never short on creativity. Maybe you too will look at your trash differently and think, Trash to Treasure?
