Short Bio

My childhood was spent in Colorado where I was immersed in an enchanting world playing with rocks and in streams, searching out and admiring flowers, and gazing in wonder and awe at the nearby mountains and at the far away stars. This early endearment of the outdoors and the cosmos led to an interest in geology, astrology, and sacred geometry. I create mosaics that explores and plays with light, reflection, and patterns. I study various metaphysical sciences to deepen my understanding of how energy, color, and healing can be imbued into my work. I love working with gemstones and natural minerals for their luster, beauty, dimension, and also for their energetic properties. I find art glass, with its inherent complex patterns mysteriously beautiful and intriguing. I often use mirror as a tool to create light and reflection underneath glass and gemstones as part of the structure. The layers create interesting areas for they eyes to rest when exploring a piece.

Statement

I particularly enjoy making decorative mirror frames as they provide the opportunity to explore reflection of one’s surface self and the deeper more interesting inner self. I begin with a rough sketch or idea and then let my intuition guide me to the colors and materials to use. I become a conduit for an energy that wants to be expressed and allow the final design and pattern to emerge organically.

Through the intricate process of designing and creating mosaic art, I am able to tap into the inherent beauty and symbolism of the materials I use. The process of piecing together tiny fragments of glass, gemstones, and metal is a meditative one, allowing me to lose myself in the task at hand and connect with my own inner being and am reminded of the interconnectedness of all things. The mosaic itself becomes a functional piece that is also a metaphor for the human experience. I am particularly drawn to mirror frames, as they provide a unique opportunity to explore the interplay of light and reflection. The mirrors themselves become integral components of each piece, reflecting and refracting the colors and patterns of the mosaic in ways that are both mesmerizing and transformative.

Overall, creating mosaic art is a deeply fulfilling and meaningful process that allows me to connect with my own creativity, explore the beauty of the world around me, and share my vision with others.
