"I truly admire people who can write, it seems like magic to me.  However, when it comes to color and little itsy-bitsy pieces of glass, I can sit for hours in an almost meditative state.   They say making art stimulates endorphins.  Maybe that is what occurs for me. 

When I think about my life, and all the turns it has taken, it is amazing to me that I have found the delightful path I am currently on.  I know it took many lives to get here.  I have always had affection for mosaics and tile in general.  It was only a matter of time before  I

Incorporated their use into my work.  My earlier paintings and early castings were mosaic in that I used little pieces of paint, paper, and collage to make one larger picture.  I was always putting smaller pieces of "stuff" together creating a piece that usually had one image.  I finally began making glass mosaic frames for my paintings and everything blended so well that viewers weren't certain where the tile ended, painting began or if it was a painting at all.  I enjoyed presenting a visual confusion.   I have not given up painting however, discovering mosaics was the final piece in my puzzle. Suddenly I felt everything that I had been visualizing during my artistic life had come together.  I enter my studio excited every day to start or finish a project with more enthusiasm than I ever thought possible.  It is a wonderful thing, and a wonderful way to work."
