My journey into the world of mosaic art began in 1999. Having previously worked in collage, textiles, pottery, and beadwork, all tactile in nature, I saw mosaics as an opportunity to further explore the use of texture and materials.

I originally worked with stained glass, ceramics, and other manmade materials, but over the years my choice in materials and the style of my work have become organic. Inspired by the beauty and abstractness in nature, I now use a wide array of gemstones and minerals to create a sense of fluidity and light.

I began creating micromosaic jewelry to expand the reach of my art and to challenge myself to work on a very small scale. My style has evolved into the creation of wearable landscapes, with minerals and pearls becoming sunrises and sunsets over oceans, mountains, and cities. Through the use of color and texture, I seek to bring a sense of calm and peace to both the wearer and the viewer.
