Bio

As a child, I was always creative. In my 20s I sold my work at shops and galleries, though I never felt compelled to stick with a medium long enough to master it. I worked in oil pastel, collage, linocut, bookbinding, jewelry making, and ceramics, always as a hobby while working various jobs for income. When I was 30, my landlord repaired the floor in my bathroom, then gave me a box of scrap tile and suggested I do something creative to cover it. That was in 2000, and I was hooked. I have been able to build my mosaic business while being available for my daughter these past 18 years. We have a small farm in rural Washington State, nestled in the Black Hills where I work in my studio and we grow most of our food. We have goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, dogs, cats, ferrets and axolotls. I continue to learn and grow with mosaic, creating fine art panels and installations for homes, businesses and public places. My love and appreciation of mosaic as an art form continues to grow, as it is so versatile. It can be made of nearly anything, can be a small pendant or can cover a building, can be fine art and functional art, is touchable, durable, and glass has a luminosity that makes it seem alive.
