"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

Chama & La Bahada Junker

This is a true Arroyo Junker.  I crawled down an embankment, past a dead dog, and past some very shameful graffiti.  Amy if you see this.... SHAME SHAME!  I was going to show these pics of the dead dog and what the graffiti said about AMY, but my photo shop skills weren't good enough to cover the bad parts if you really didn't want to see it.  This junker has had many a river run thru it.  It was a beauty, however.  I know it's weird to see such beauty in these old car, but I swear I do. 



I've discovered that New Mexico is in love with Chevy's!  I drove many miles thru lots of small towns and all I saw were Chevy's.

I loved the way this hid behind the old adobe... as I crept forward so did that old chevy.

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