Recycled folk art is what Kim Clayton does. She grabs
scraps of wood, tin and even old hubcaps from around the
city where she lives and tries to use it for creating
something worth keeping forever. Kim says it is fun and she
feels like she is helping the community, not only by
cleaning up what most people consider to be useless junk,
but also by showing collectors and art lovers just how
creative she can be. Her husband and her two children are a
huge help when it comes to finding just the right object to
paint on. Kim likes to believe that what she is doing with
her gift is changing junk to something meaningful and
lovely. This she hopes encourages others to allow God into
their lives so that their lives can also be meaningful and
lovely. Spiritually Kim hopes to share the gospel of Jesus
Christ and God's forgiveness through all her pieces. She
likes to think of her work as a mission and not just a job.
Kim will not stop until there is no more trash to be
found.
