Kaley’s Repurposed Art
https://www.kaleysrepurposedart.com/
There’s a point that a set of skis or an old snowboard reach when they just aren’t usable on the slopes any longer. And these are the skis/snowboards that Kaley loves the most. In an attempt to save these items from the landfill, Kaley created a repurposed art business turning these items, plus skateboards and even wakeboards into beautiful works of art. From hand-painted scenes of Lake Tahoe sunsets to notable ski trails, Kaley’s artwork will enhance any home’s decor – and make an unforgettable gift for the Tahoe-lover in your life.
