I’ve always been fascinated and inspired by the ancient and contemporary mosaic art that I’ve seen on my worldwide travels. I created my first piece in 2003 when I received my first instruction in mosaics at Laguna Gloria in Austin, Texas.  I was immediately hooked. 

Since then, I’ve taken classes and workshops from some of the best mosaic artists in the world, including Sharra Frank, Sonia King, Yulia Hanansen, and the Chicago Mosaic School.  I’m constantly working on improving my skills and craftmanship.  I’m a member of both the Minnesota Mosaic Guild and the Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA).

I design and create decorative functional pieces as well as strictly decorative items.  My work ranges from wall hangings and garden art to decorative vases, trivets, tables and trays. I combine a variety of materials to create texture and interest.  I love to combine color effectively to make my pieces “pop”.  All of my pieces sparkle and shine.
