Mitch D'Arte: I work out of two studios 350 miles apart each one equally as inspiring. Growing up poor has given me a fondness and connection to all things humble which provoke emotions... anything rich in history and culture... things that show evidence of the past and traces of the human spirit. There is a romanticism about old worn items they greatly deepen my connection to people of past generations and strengthen my belief in meaningful human connections. I love to repurpose them especially if there is evidence of their previous life through their new purpose...
