In a world where waste threatens to overwhelm our environment, Bangorian artist Mariah Reading has found a unique way to turn trash into treasure.

Through her awe-inspiring work, Mariah breathes new life into discarded objects, easily overlooked as trash by adorning them with breathtaking landscapes and vibrant florals. Each stroke of her brush not only adds beauty but also tells a powerful story of repurposing and environmental consciousness.

With a keen eye for the extraordinary in the mundane, Mariah Reading has taken her artistic vision to unexpected places. 

She elevates discarded waste like a pre-loved slipper, typically associated with comfort within our private spaces, or old chairs into a canvas for awe-inspiring landscapes. A mountain vista on slippers takes us on a journey from the mundane to the majestic, redefining the way we perceive everyday objects and our surroundings. It’s a reminder that the beauty of our world can be found in unexpected places, and that our creativity knows no bounds when it comes to sustainable art expression

Mariah Reading’s work is a testament to the power of imagination and resourcefulness. With each brushstroke, she challenges us to reevaluate our relationship with the objects we discard and the potential they hold for reinvention. 

Her art carries an unmistakable message: “We have the ability to reshape our world, to turn waste into wonder, and to find inspiration in the overlooked.”

In a society that often races forward, Mariah Reading’s art invites us to pause and consider the stories hidden within everyday objects. Her pieces remind us that art can be a catalyst for transformation – not just of materials, but of mindsets. As we view her creations, we’re prompted to see the world through new eyes, to appreciate the potential for reinvention, and to embrace the notion that beauty can emerge from unexpected sources.
