Simply put, I love creating art, whether it's painting, mosaic art, fiber arts, or sketching. Glass is a medium that I am particularly drawn to. I love the textures, variety of colors, shapes, sizes, reflections, even the sound it makes when I’m scoring and cutting it. Glass allows me to take a thousand little pieces of color and turn them into a flowing representation of the environments, and Maine Island life, that inspire me. While I am meticulous in my mosaic technique, I try very hard to keep my work spontaneous. Throughout the creation process, I try to keep myself submerged in the moment of my initial inspiration, whether it be through sounds, smells, images, or returning to a specific location over and over again. My goal in working this way is to keep each mosaic alive & natural. Every piece of glass is put into place with purpose, intent, joy, love, and inspiration behind it.
