Etsy Finds Friday - Reclaim2Fame

It's **Etsy Finds Friday**
Today I am featuring the
Reclaimed Artwork
 Created by:
Reclaim2Fame
About the Artist:
Will Wagenaar has been a professional artist since 1972. Starting in visual merchandizing management with a major Midwest retail chain, he learned at an early age to turn anything into something else. An interior design degree was next at Harrington Institute in Chicago.  1980 was the beginning of a successful mural painting business, creating wonderful walls for prestigious residences and major corporations in cities across the country.  In 1993 he opened a very experimental storefront on Miami Beach where he twisted all manner of found materials into new usable objects and fine art. A couple of years later the concept expanded to The Miami Design District. That larger workshop and gallery showcased over a dozen artist's work in reclamation art. Furnishings of all types, home accessories and fine art were displayed. Everything in the gallery was made of at least 80% recycled materials.  Those two stores are long gone but not the passion for reclamation art. Now living on the Gulf Coast of Florida, he feels like he might just be getting started. Etsy has opened a new world of possibilities for this well seasoned artist.

  2. Oh wow! That is so neat. I love "Faded Glory", it's cool.

    Actually, this work tends to remind me of toys from my childhood, seriously.

    This is a wonderful tribute. You're such a dear! Hugs!
