T2T Opening May 7th, 2010: Creative Reuse & Recycling Centre

Trash to Treasure is a creative reuse and recycling center in Broward County.  I did a painting inside their zen of scrap boutique area created with recycled house paints.  She is the "Green Warrior".  The Zen of Scrap  will be opening on May 7th and there will be a grand opening on May 15th, 2010.  The video below is by videographer Lew Lautin.  The organization is a non profit and is a wonderful resource for art teachers and artists to find unique materials that would probably otherwise end up in a landfil.
