ARTIST STATEMENT
Mosaic art fascinates me with its assemblages of many small pieces to make an overall cohesive image. Colors and shapes can be hand made to portray anything in my imagination. I use a huge variety of tesserae including stone, stained glass, ceramic tile, shells, pearls, semi precious stones, beads, jewelry, and clay. Found objects, re-purposed often make interesting, visual focal points. The whole process is extremely fulfilling. Creating a piece of art even on a round stone, gives me a sense of place in the universe and satisfaction for creating beauty. I love to see what happens when people first look at my work. Their reactions often are surprise and then they smile and point and come closer to see the detail in the pieces.
I rarely do festivals as I prefer offering a more intimate setting at my farm for prospective buyers to come and browse. Recently I have focused my designs on the horse and offer pieces through Facebook which generally sell in a few hours. I take commissions because I love doing a piece for someone. Please feel free to call 352-328-6112 if you have questions.
