NPR Radio Interview with Nick Mancillas
SoCo Artistry: Elevating random found objects into works of art.
For construction worker-turned-teacher-turned-artist, Santa Rosa's Nick Mancillas says he can't and won't stop creating. "I think that finding something artistic is more of a journey, you start off at point A and you don't know where point B is, you're kind of wandering around on a trail---you sort of know where you're going, but I think that the process of discovery and the making of it, and the excitement of discovery, is the excitement the viewer will feel when they are seeing it."

"One of my goals is to give value to the valueless," says Mancillas, who forages the cardboard from dumpsters and then creates mixed-media collages of the famous men (mostly presidents) whose stoic faces appear on our money. "I'm interested in a sort of artistic alchemy" His art, then, is ultimately about finding value where we least expect it. "If I could transform a turd into a gold nugget, and make it worth something to someone, I would."
