Art that viewed the ultimate form of creative expression has always been in Stephanie Lynn Daigles DNA.
Southington, Conn –
Art that was seen as the ultimate form of expression has always been in the DNA of a Saufington woman who turns the garbage into a treasure.
“The art has been there since the jump, I can't remember a time when I didn't create,” said Stephanie Lynn Daigle from Southington.
Daigle became a character artist at Trader Joes, but she wanted more and more of her art. Then she noticed that her creative outlet was in front of her all the time.
“The box of cables that you do not know what they are going, or old wallets that I hated and I never wanted to use again. Just hacking everything and trying to use them in any way,” said Daigle.
It used objects that would have been ejected to create her first sculpture.
“My first piece was this deer that I called Yondu,” said Daigle.
The name of her first project was inspired by the figure Yondu, which could be seen in Marvel's “Guardians of the Galaxy” film.
“I wanted to call him Luey at first, and I looked at the film and said: 'I really like the name Yondu,',” she said.
Her hobby is now your full -time job 299 pieces later. A person's garbage is Daigles treasure.

“I think a lot of people assume that I dive to dive,” said Daigle. “I've never done that.”
Your environmentally friendly passion has been resonance with a whole community.
“At first it was my own trash,” said Daigle. “Then it became my friends' garbage and my family and everyone who knew that I was doing it. I am so proud to say that I probably saved a lot of garbage from a landfill.”
A garbage procession that she does not see soon will always be switched on for the journey.
“I will do that forever, I have it completely,” said Daigle. “I don't feel excessively valuable about most things that I create, but Yondu, with whom I am different. He got this whole ball rolling and I had no idea that it would be what it was today.”
Daigle said that she did auctions for her work every month, but currently have several pieces online for sale.
