Hoyt, Jackie

My work is built from recycled picture frames and found objects that surround unique and original stories from the 60’s and 70’s.Every effort is made to use no new items relying on yard sales, thrift stores and discarded memories.Collections of theme based igems are also a large part of my work including western, kitchen, kitsch, holiday, circus, auto and sports.

With twenty years spent in visual merchandizing and design of window displays I have honed the skills that have led me to the creation of these assemblages.These pieces created from vintage toys and games will please the eye of the baby boomer.The joy of creation is culminated in the reactions of the people who travel down the memories in each piece.With these boxes not, necessarily geared towards children, I hope to spark a sweet recollection of a time when families gathered for board games, laughter and simple pleasures.
