SALVAGE
Conversations with artists who use repurposed materials in their art practice.
SALVAGE is a podcast that celebrates creativity and sustainability through conversations with artists who turn discarded materials into powerful works of art. Each episode dives into their stories, techniques, and the deeper messages behind their work, showing how art can transform waste into beauty and inspire action against overconsumption and wastefulness.
It’s a space for exploring how creativity and mindfulness can help us reimagine our relationship with the planet—one repurposed piece at a time.

SALVAGE
Conversation with Stephanie Hongo
Please enjoy my conversation with Stephanie Hongo. Stephanie and I talked about her start in the art world, how she started making art from trash, her unique way of collecting the trash she prefers to use and so much more!
Stephanie is an American artist living in Connecticut. She has been creating art for the majority of her life, but it wasn’t until she began making the trash pieces that she really felt inspired to create art for art’s sake. She comes from a family of creators of all kinds, from carpentry to typography; they all have an ability to “make things.” This broad range of ability and influence was a big factor in developing Stephanie’s own brand of creativity.
