Artist Statement

After 20 years in the professional music industry abroad, 5 years ago  I decided it was time to let my artistic talent grow into another  art form from me.  It started with a bag of glass pebbles and a wooden table and from that I began a new artistic expression of mosaic and teaching myself to incorporate the  love of the colors that surrounded me from my experience of  living in the Mediterranean area for many years, in particular the region of Greece.   The clearness of the colors using stained glass and ceramic and glass tiles helps inspire what I want to convey in a mosaic piece.

I am continually learning new techniques and try to bring alive the project I am working on at that time.  My goals are to train my eyes in seeing the piece in 3 d and bringing that into the project.  Many of my pieces are usable in homes not only as art but functional and pleasing forms of furniture, mirrors and frames and wall décor.  My home studios are in Delaware and Pennsylvania and are set up to have 180 degree views of the sky and rolling hills which the colors and peacefulness of nature also help to inspire me in my mosaics.

My work has been shown in several local art leagues and art boutiques in Delaware and I have taken part in several art shows and charity events.
