Thank you for visiting my website. I am not a writer. I do not have
the patience to put words together to make a cohesive and
interesting sentence. I truly admire people who can, it seems like
magic to me. However when it comes to color and little itsy bitsy
pieces of glass, I can sit for hours in an almost meditative state.
They say making art stimulates endorphins. Maybe that is what
occurs for me.
When i think about my life, and all the turns it has taken, it is
amazing to me that i have found the delightful path i am currently on.
I know it took many lives to get here. I have always had affection for
mosaics and tile in general. It was only a matter of time before I
Incorporated their use into my work. My earlier paintings and early
castings were mosaic in that i used little pieces of paint, paper, and
collage if you will to make one larger picture. I was always putting
smaller pieces of "stuff" together creating a piece that usually had
one image. I finally began making glass mosaic frames for my
paintings and everything blended so well that viewers weren't certain
where the tile ended, painting began or if it was a painting at all. I
enjoyed presenting a visual confusion. I have not given up painting
however discovering mosaics was the final piece in my puzzle.
Suddenly i felt everything that i had been visualizing during my
artistic life had come together. I enter my studio excited every day to
start or finish a project with more enthusiasm than I ever thought
possible. It is a wonderful thing, and a wonderful way to work.
