About the Artist

I fell in love with mosaics after finding a discarded book of crafts and seeing a mosaicked chair. After attending the Mosaic School in Ravenna, Italy, my commitment was solidified. Previously I'd worked in acrylic and oil paints, collages and etchings. Mosaicking was a natural progression, since I was already incorporating jewels, textures, wooden pieces, and metal into works on handmade paper.
