I love working with glass to make beautiful mosaics and also enjoy the process of working with homeowners and interior designers to add vibrance and excitement to a home.
Like many artists, I've experimented with many different mediums to find the one that best expresses my creative impulses. Creating mosaics is fulfilling because it is not just the act of designing, but the satisfaction of physically building a work of art. The infinite range of colors and textures of glass provide me with endless possibilities. My art is a reflection of myself: learning, growing, constantly evolving.
My works attempt to display the beauty of nature in a different medium. My goal is to recreate the experience of discovering a natural wonder, the excitement you feel the moment that you crack open a geode and discover the beauty that lies within a simple rock.
Just like in nature, my work is filled with philosophical contrasts: simplicity amidst complication, harmony amidst conflict, order amidst chaos. I feel I achieve this through intricate design with simplicity of pattern and repeating motifs.
As sophisticated as art itself, glass is timeless, sturdy, and complex. Through it I can create original and vivid designs, bringing one of the oldest art forms into the modern age. Overall, my work combines organic shapes from nature with contemporary design.
Information
Area served: Mosaics can be created in my studio and shipped anywhere in the world. Shipping Methods: Typically I use FedEx as they are the best at handling fragile pieces of art and accept oversized packages, but shipping method varies project-by-project.
A good contractor or experienced tile installer can arrange for installation on site. I talk with the installer on your end to make sure we are all on the same page and that they are aware of any special requirements. With large pieces, they are shipped like puzzle pieces and all are numbered and organized. On occasion, if the mosaic is detailed, it is best to have it installed and then have me come to grout the mosaic, as the process for grouting detailed or textured mosaics is slightly different from standard tile grouting.
