My philosophy of art and beauty comes from the principles of colour,
with light as its essence. Colours meld to form new colours and the
feelings which they inspire. In the same breath, they split apart with
an unequal divide to produce seemingly alike, but different colours and
emotions. I equate colour with all that is life, the tears, the joy, as
well as the rapture. Everything that is in the human experience can be
described and felt through colour and design.
I truly enjoy taking an artists painting or 2D media and translating the work into mosaic. I see the collaboration between myself and another artist as a challenge. The result of creating "artwork for the eternity" with the sensibilities of the original work is very satisfying!
I started designing custom furnishings in the early 80’s, in the mid 90’s I focused on creating furnishings with mosaic inclusions. I enjoy working with my clients to provide focal point furnishings which have meaning to those which will be living with them. I often include hidden elements which are significant to the owners! Fun -Creative-Focal Point Furnishings!
Mosaic design can translate into any medium. I have enjoyed designing and fabricating mosaics for a variety of installations both residential and commercial. My installations are site specific, both the location, as well as the clients needs are taken into consideration during my creative process.
My secret angels are among the most spiritual of my creations. I feel that my career as an artist has been defined by a succession of "leaps of faith". My series of angels is one that is truly from my heart. I feel honored when they use me as a conduit to life on earth! Now, I know I may be getting a bit esoteric, however they really do seem to have a magical quality. Each one has a spirit and personality of its own. I also enjoy creating other mixed media works, the angels may hide in these panels also! Enjoy!
