“My works are created by using rescued materials,” says Dayo Johnson. “Saved from construction yards, old barns and city streets, I combine these items, along with painted images to create beautiful works of Peace, Unity and Hope.

“I am drawn to things that have been discarded,” she notes. “I have every power tool a girl could ask for and I use them to help bring these things back to life and add them in a place of honor in my work.”

She’s inspired by life’s joys from family and nature. “I enjoy creating art and helping to save the planet, one rescued piece at a time.”
