"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
I ~ RESURRECT ~ STEEL

Happy Birthday!

Today I want to wish my best gal pal HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thank her for these past 42 years of friendship. You have been my confidant, my shoulder to cry on, my partner in crime (only if it was throwing eggs at the Drive-In when we were 12), my sounding board thru thick and thin.  Your "true" friendship has been a constant almost my entire life and for that I will be forever grateful. Life gets in the way and sometimes we don't do enough of the crazy things we like to do together, but we always know they will come in time.  You've always been there for me and you know I'll always be there for you - because without each other we couldn't possible drag and hide the bodies alone!

I'm thankful for you in my life and I love you!!  Happy Birthday Dear Friend.
