Extraordinary Eco-friendly Fine Art

LAS VEGAS (March 2, 2009) The G3reen Outlet in the Arts Factory is pleased to feature the fine art of internationally acclaimed eco-artist Sandhi Schimmel Gold on March 6, 2009 during First Friday, Las Vegas Arts District’s monthly arts, entertainment, and social block party held downtown. Schimmel Gold’s art will also be featured during the Collector’s Preview on Thursday, March 5, 2009, 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.

Gold’s sustainable junk mail mosaic art, using resources that would otherwise go to waste, has been featured in Natural Home Magazine, Innovative Home Magazine, Martha Stewart’s Body & Soul Magazine, on the Sundance and Ovation Channels. It is featured in the Vivavi showroom in New York City and in galleries in Denver, Los Angeles and Carmel, Calif. Schimmel Gold’s art is in private and corporate collections in Europe, Asia and the U.S. She most recently completed portraits for NBC’s Access Hollywood hosts Billy Bush and Nancy O’Dell for the Golden Globes Awards.

Schimmel Gold studied mosaics in Turkey and glass in Venice. Creating a mixed media art form she calls “Acrylic Mosaic Fusion”, Gold combines her love of art with her compulsion to recycle by hand-cutting tiny tiles created from junk mail, advertising ephemera, greeting cards, photographs and packaging instead of glass or tile. The G3reen Outlet in the Arts Factory, located at 107 E. Charleston Blvd., Suite 135, offers the opportunity to connect people, planet and products by featuring an eco-gallery, a green store and a resource center focused on green living solutions.

Other featured artists this month include Kandyce Perez of Waste Not Whimsey, Christine Esposito of Funky Recycling and the organic bamboo clothing of Global Ghetto.
