My Background
Although I'm not a classically trained artist, I've always had a love for art, color and design. After a trip to the Vatican in Italy, I fell in love with the art of mosaic. I spent the last 20 years learning the trade, tools, materials and design of mosaics. I'm always interested in learning new things. I am currently working on creating my own hand made ceramic tile to put in my mosaic art.

I started working with vitreous glass tile (from Italy and used indoor or outdoor) many years ago. I've progressed to recycled glass, stained glass and mixed media (beads, found objects, upcycled glass, etc...). I recently started working with materials for outdoor use.

I started working with vitreous glass tile (from Italy and used indoor or outdoor) many years ago. I've progressed to recycled glass, stained glass and mixed media (beads, found objects, upcycled glass, etc...). I recently started working with materials for outdoor use. I use either a light weight fiberglass backer board or wood for my projects. I love upcycling glass bottles for my decorative mosaic bottle vases. I basically mosaic anything that will take adhesive, tile and grout! In keeping with my quest to always learn more, I will be adding Italian smalti to my list of materials soon.

I love being outside. My inspiration comes from nature. One of our family's favorite places to visit is Longwood Gardens (Kennett Square, PA).

I love being outside. My inspiration comes from nature. One of our family's favorite places to visit is Longwood Gardens (Kennett Square, PA). I love the flowers, patterns in the fountains as the water drops and beautiful architecture of the buildings. That is where my inspiration comes from .... the compilation of nature, architecture and patterns. I love living in an urban area. I get plenty of inspiration from living in an historic neighborhood where we have brick sidewalks and cobblestone streets. Take a moment when you are in a city and notice the patterns in the brick or cobblestones. It's an amazing example of mosaic design.
