I am a mosaic artist, who started out as a textile designer. After 10 years managing my design business, I started playing around with mosaic, and became addicted! I find the process of creating images out of many little pieces satisfying. I am especially drawn to pattern and flow, as found in ancient Greek and Roman mosaics. I love the richness and depth of color in the materials I use: stained glass, vitreous tile, glazed ceramic, stone. I tend to use color boldly in my work.
Gardens and nature inspire me. I am also inspired by travel. My work is influenced by the ancient mosaics I have seen, as well as the breathtaking scenery I have stumbled upon around the world. My pieces range from framed art to architectural installations to functional pieces such as garden benches and tables. My goal is to bring serenity, beauty, and joy to viewers of my art.
