February Artist of the Month
Danielle Herrera
Artist Statement:
My vision as an artist is to reuse things such as jeans, zippers, newspapers and other materials that would otherwise be seen as junk and turn them into art. I like to take jeans and transform them into portraits. I’m currently taking passed loved ones jeans and creating memorial pieces with them. I also enjoy making trees with the zippers and buttons from denim. I enjoy watching people’s reactions when they realize it is recycled materials that are being used. I have a page on Facebook called paperDENIMart where I post current pieces of art and take custom orders.
