Susan David-Ferlanti is a mixed media artist whose work is rooted in the transformative power of repurposing everyday objects. Inspired by the belief that nothing truly loses its beauty or purpose, she breathes new life into discarded jewelry, found objects, and reclaimed materials sourced from thrift stores, yard sales, and auctions. Each rescued element becomes part of a larger visual narrative, reflecting her commitment to sustainability while celebrating the hidden stories and possibilities within overlooked objects.

Through collage and sculptural compositions, David-Ferlanti explores the relationship between memory, perception, and emotional connection. She thoughtfully reimagines familiar materials, allowing vintage jewelry and everyday objects to take on new meaning through unexpected combinations of color, texture, and form. Her work demonstrates how context can transform perception, revealing beauty where others might see only the discarded. Guided by intuition and imagination, she creates pieces that balance nostalgia with contemporary expression, inviting viewers to reconsider the value of ordinary things and the creative potential found in renewal, reinvention, and artistic vision.
