Dana Schmidt

I am 27 years old/young (however you look at it). I live and love and see art in every direction. I dislike the amount of wasted items people throw away every single day.. so yes, I love trash day and picking out treasures from your \"trash\". I have this crazy view of the world and am always picking up things off the ground that I later use in some piece of art- be it a painting, jewelry, some sort of 3D collage or in a photo, it\'s all tools and ingredients to me! I want to start my own business of taking things people don\'t want anymore and either reselling them, giving them to people who need them, or using the things for art... you never know what you\'ll find and thats something that really intrigues me!! Plus, with what I\'ve done already this year, the women I helped move and took junk they didn\'t want, they both said it was a very good feeling to give things away that other people will be happy to have. Maybe my mother is to blame for taking me to so many garage sales and for the Bob Ross paint set all around the same time in my young life.. so I put it all together, and here I am. Nice to meet you!
