I am a mosaic artist born and raised in

New York 's beautiful Hudson River Valley.

Actually I shouldn't label myself;

I work in many different mediums.

Mosaics are just one passion of choice.

I fell in love with the process by accident. Literally.

I dropped and broke a platter I treasured

that had been passed down in my husband’s family.

As I was adding it to a carefully wrapped, broken

bowl that had been my grandmothers; A previous

casualty I couldn't bear to part with,

I decided to use these pieces to make something to

treasure and commemorate the memories

of these women we so admired.

 I love to use badly damaged or broken old plates in my work. I am careful not to break anything that is valuable… though I have purchased new plates to liberate into works of art.

 

I also use ceramic and porcelain tile, broken decorative items, lots of stained glass, and any interesting bits that end up in my jars!

 

Thankfully,

I have a wonderfully understanding family, who indulge my scavenger hunts, and endless jars and piles of artistically stacked tile and plates.

 

 

If you have a broken piece you want made into a new treasure, please e-mail me and I am sure we can come up with something beautiful to honor your memories as well.

 

From gazing balls and garden ornaments, to art pieces for hearth and home… a bit of magic and a measure of love go into each and every piece.
