Welcome
Art, assemblage, antique, vintage, nostalgic.... it might all start with a rusty bottle cap…one of my favorite finds! What could it become?....a hat? a toe? a nose of some kind? It truly is all about trash to treasures for me with Mixed Media Max. That name came together for several reasons......
Hi, my name is Lisa Rupp and I love to work with all kinds of art materials, and in all types of mediums and techniques, thus the mixed media part. As an elementary art teacher, time to create my own art work is at a minimum, so I try to MAXIMIZE every moment! And then there is MAXwell, my Scottish Terrier……he’s always a part of the act!
I’ve been creating my Funkie Junkie Friends, Junkyard Dogs and Alley Cats for a couple of years, but the found objects, antiques, hardware, and just plain junk have called my name for as long as I can remember! When the thrill of the hunt, the perfect find, and the joy of creating, all come together…. it becomes a passion and I can’t wait to make more!
For a change of pace, I sometimes enjoy using Mother Nature’s treasures to create Native American style masks and figures made from gourds. While these found objects and their end products may differ, the process of assemblage and using various textures and techniques is
very similar.
I hope you enjoy my "Junkie Friends" and other items as much as I enjoy creating them!
You can find Mixed Media Max creations at The SoHo Cafe and Gallery
in Carmel, Indiana.
