Mosaics are my passion. I have been a full-time mosaic artist for many years now, and my commission work includes a wide variety of installations nationwide, both in the public and private sectors. From interior and exterior wall murals in hospitals to backsplashes in the kitchen to columns and fountains, my work comes in many different forms.

A recent collaboration on a splash pad for Deerfield Beach, Florida measures 2,223 square feet in diameter, my largest mosaic ever! I have undertaken numerous school and community mosaic projects here in the United States and several in Guatemala and Chile.

I also specialize in teaching the indirect method of mosaic assembly both in my studio in western Massachusetts and at art centers around the country. I love what I do, and feel very fortunate to earn my living doing such a wide variety of interesting types of work.

However, I am truly in my element and believe I create my strongest work when pursuing my personal interest in working abstractly.

I particularly enjoy experimenting with new ways of laying tesserae (glass/tile bits) and doing things I have not done before, such as exploring texture, form, line and color in this medium.

My abstracts have won awards nationally and internationally. I have been fortunate to have clients that chose me for my abstract style and allowed me free range.

My goal at this point in my career is to find new commissions where I work in this abstract and semi-abstract style and do it LARGE.

Switching one’s “look” is not easy; much of my work is for children’s hospitals, and the art is necessarily child-friendly and rather simplistic. The challenge is clear, and I will do what I can to make it happen.

Currently I am working on a shell/coral series. Last year I had two large projects in Florida and collected a lot of shell and coral fragments; my intention is to do several mosaics unified solely by the inclusion of the shells and corals.
