Both bring me into the magnificence of the present moment. I love the process of creating with my hands which I find to be my best meditation.

I am an adventurer, captivated by the beauty of nature, and always by the Light. Whenever I can, I forage for materials to use in my mosaic work. I love finding slate, stone, bark, pebbles, and other treasures outdoors.

I also have an interest in reusing materials that have a previous life, and often use ceramic, glass, or rusty bits alongside precious materials like smalti (a handmade opaque glass).

I am a materials person and love to create texture and tell a story with the materials I use. My work is about the beauty and fragility of nature, and the experience of being human. I hope my mosaics invite you to pause and linger, to connect with something deeper.
