Happy to meet you!
Are you smiling too? Imagine having a cheerful & beautiful flower - handmade - just - for - you - for your living spaces?
Do you have materials that hold memories? Renovating a family cottage? Or selling the family home? Let's take some of that cherished past & make giftable memories for the whole family!
The stories behind the materials - their source, past use or acquisition - are the inspiration in the designs of the Artfully Recycled products. Known in Eastern Ontario & Toronto since 1999 for her lush charcoal drawings, Mallorytown artist Laurie was taking an “art break” when inspiration literally re-blossomed! This new muse, was a quirky combination of garden florals, odds & sods from her Dad's garage, & home renovation leftovers that were stuffed in the shed.
Each product is one of a kind creation that often highlights the beauty of the materials. Items are created in small batches & assembled by hand.
Commissions accepted.
I look forward to working with you!

About the artist
A practicing visual artist for over 25 years, Laurie is living the roller coaster creative life in both the visual arts & artisan markets.
After graduating from Guelph University with a BA (Specialized Fine Arts), her practice has included teaching, arts advocate, arts juror, show organizer & grant writing. She continues to share her love of charcoal drawing & the business side of creativity to numerous artists and students in Eastern Ontario.
Her original charcoal drawings capture the implied essence of a human presence and the stillness of nature. Over the years, she has exhibited at local eateries, regional & provincial galleries, as well as the One of a Kind. Her artwork has garnered many awards & grants including an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grant (2005), Emerging Visual Arts and Exhibition grants from the Ontario Arts Council.
These drawings & others are available. Please send inquiry if interested.

The Materials
Purging or downsizing? Know someone that is?
Save some of that from going to the landfill. Many items from your home, basement, shed or garage - can be reused or repurposed.
Some of the items we are looking for:
- interior grade wood - new construction or building renos - "pieces of" or "left overs" of pine planks etc. (sorry no pressure treated, MDF, medite, particle board);
- weathered wood or board & batten
- Adirondack chairs
- old dehumidifiers - the boxy ones usually with metal sides/top and plastic front
- semi rigid dryer ducting (not the one with thin "tinfoil" feel)
- old clothesline
- metal clothes hangers
- metal mini blinds
- metal items that are round (any size from a washer to a steel drum container cover)
Contact us to inquire! And to arrange pick up or delivery.
Thank you!
