"Contrast, color, texture. These are the three words that best describe my work. When I work with stone, I am reminded that these materials took millions of years to create. I feel like I’m part of a long continuum of life on this planet when I grip my hammer and cleave a piece of granite. I begin a piece by first having an inspiration, from nature or the built world around me. I’m always on the lookout for interesting scenes, when zoomed into with the camera become inspiration for a compelling abstract composition. With a pile of stone tesserae in front of me, I then look for just the right shiny bits of glass smalti to add contrast to the rough texture of the stone. Other elements come into play as well. Rusted steel and cast-off hardware can be the perfect focal point to a piece."


I discovered that the ancient art of mosaic is the perfect medium for me to express my creativity. My background as a graphic designer gives me experience for working with clients on custom commissions. I enjoy listening to clients’ preferences and working to come up with a creative solution. My goal is to create artwork that will conceivably last longer than I do!
