Austin Creative Reuse

Every month, we highlight one of the amazing artists in our reuse community.

This month, ACR has the privilege of spotlighting Alexandra Cook, an Austin-based illustrator and jewelry artist. She used recycled materials sourced from ACR in the illustrations of her most recent children’s book, Arctic Adventure: A Tundra Tale, which centers around environmental themes, gentle activism, and colorful mixed-media illustrations for young readers. It was important to her that a book rooted in environmental themes also reflect those values in the way it was created, which is why she turned to ACR for her illustration materials! We’re thrilled to see reuse materials used to inspire the next generation to be kinder to our shared planet!
