"I'm a huge advocate for recycling. In addition to paper and aluminum cans I recycle plastic, glass and tin cans. In my professional work I incorporate found materials into a new artwork. Used materials are the focus of the community projects I organize such as an upcoming pinwheel project for Earth Day. The Landfillart project speaks to me on so many levels and is a great way to create public awareness through its worldwide collaboration."Andria Zweigart
