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 Chrissanth Greene Gross
Please enjoy my conversation with Chrissanth Gross.
Chrissanth and I chatted about her early start in art as a daughter of artists, her figure drawings and her plein air practice. We dove into how she gives back to her community by picking up roadside trash. Then we talked about her activism of making a 47 foot tidal wave of plastic trash that she collects in her own home and travels with to Albany NY to present as a visual aid to legislators to help pass the plastic packaging reduction bill.
