From her studio in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Jane Hogeterp Koopman creates one-of-a-kind works of art and jewelry. Her aim is to celebrate nature and promote its protection. She works with an array of media, from natural materials like wood and metal to found objects and trash like candy wrappers, beer bottle caps and drinking straws. One of her greatest passions is upcycling: she's on an ongoing quest to find new ways to use trash-bound materials. Wander through this website to see Jane's latest work, have a peek inside her studio, and see if she can use some of your trash!

Creation is a drug I can't do without.
