My art is repurposing 'found objects' into one-of-a-kind lamps. I use all new electrical parts. The ‘bases’ are rustic, retro, elegant, vintage, industrial or whimsical objects. Attention to detail, such as painting the new sockets (and other shiny bits) so that they ‘blend’ with the base is my trademark. Vintage lightbulbs are included. I also enjoy custom work–turning a family heirloom or a favorite item into a decorative and useful lamp. 445 characters
