Welcome!
I’ve been making mosaics for 35 years, creating custom, residential, and commercial installations in the US, Italy, and Mexico.
My work has been exhibited across the US and in Italy at the biennial Ravenna Mosaico festival and at the Orsoni Smalti Veneziani foundry in Venice as part of the Orsoni Grand Prize for mosaic in 2009.

I have two mosaic passions – making large works for public spaces and creating smaller, more personal sculptures in mosaic.
Public art requires a balance of function and imagery, and I enjoy the challenge of creating unique, site-specific mosaics which create a memorable place.
In my sculptural pieces, I’m inspired by the innate opulence of mosaic materials – 24k gold smalti, marble, semi-precious stones, iridescent glass and minerals. I manipulate the textures and colors to embellish sculptural forms in unexpected ways. See the portfolio.
