Resourceful by Nature is an original upcycled abstract artwork created using reclaimed resin run-offs — fragments that would normally be discarded, gathered and reformed into something bold, joyful, and alive.
Part of the Small but Mighty series, this piece celebrates ingenuity, restraint, and the quiet power of using what’s already here. Each translucent shard tells a story of material rescued mid-process, layered by hand to create depth, movement, and unexpected beauty.
The vibrant yellow ground radiates optimism, while energetic green and coral resin forms rise upward like new growth — a visual reminder that creativity thrives within limits, and that sustainability doesn’t have to look restrained or muted.
This artwork is ideal for collectors who value sustainable mixed media art, contemporary abstraction, and artist-led practices where nothing goes to waste.
Created by award-winning New Zealand artist Lisa Watkins (MyShinyMadness), Resourceful by Nature brings warmth, energy, and intention into a space — proof that small materials, used thoughtfully, can make a powerful impact.
