practical art

Scott Merrill  |  Reclemation

I am a local artisan with a focus on re-Purposing, re-Creating and re-Visioning vintage, salvage, and mid-century items found locally into unique functional furniture and accents.

I’ve always had a passion for seeing simple everyday items in new ways. With my great love for building furniture and appreciation for vintage and mid-century modern furniture, I have followed my passion and combined those two loves into my business RE: Purpose Vision Create, LLC.   

One of my favorite pieces, found here at Practical Art, are my Footstools re-Visioned from vintage suitcases; offering whimsy and evoking conversation.  My other pieces are all unique and similar in that they all embody my vintage, salvage and mid-century vibe.

I have found a soul and inspiration through my involvement with community icons of past like QCumberz on 7th ave., and my current volunteer involvement at the Phoenix Art Museum. I am very excited about showing my work and becoming a part of Practical Art family for their community involvement and local artist advocacy.
