"ARROYO"

A dry channel through which water flows intermittently and irregularly. Kind of like this blog.

My art is an infectious need for me, sometimes a burden but most often a blessing.

This blog is about me and my obsessions, my loves, my need to create and my need of JUNK. I'm addicted to thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets and all roads leading off the beaten track to discover that perfect piece of junk. I recycle old license plates, old shovels, wheelbarrows, saw blades and anything else that's funky using my hand held plasma cutter. I love working with steel, sculpting, photography, watercolor painting, stained glass, and turning everyday utilitarian objects into art. Junked cars ~ I will always veer off the path to search out the beautiful wrecked Arroyo JunKers throughout Arizona, New Mexico and anywhere else the road may lead. When I'm not searching for those JunKers

Morrocan Nights


This is a great old vintage turquoise colored wheelbarrow. I love the low shallow style. My inspiration was sort of a morrocan feel.  I love morrocan and Indian design.  Someday perhaps I'll make it to those destinations, but for now I'll live vicariously thru beautiful stencils and fabric patterns. This was my first attempt at cutting wheelbarrows.

Takin' the back road from Greer to Morenci was gorgeous. This was waiting at the end.
