“It IS appropriate that I should be working in mosaic. Like my life, mosaics consist of many facets, pieces glued together in a coherent, yet eclectic, whole. Mosaic art is more than a frivolous pastime for me; it is a thoughtful approach to expressing my story. No matter the subject, at its core, my art is me.”

Three magnificent Mexican plates, broken and reincarnated as art––that’s what captured me in 2000 and set me on the course of a self-taught mosaic artist. Hunkered down in my lakeside studio, fueled with solitude, nature, a warm fire, a cup a tea and music, I configure shards of materials into abstract or representational renderings. As I position these tesserae, a full story falls into place––a union of my own story, that of my subject matter and those of the materials I select to execute my designs. Projects come alive, and the sense of coming full circle with life breathes in me. And for those who care to receive it, I share a small part of my complete story with every mosaic I piece together.
