Artist Statement:
I interpret and render images
in a stylistic, unified, yet
fragmented manner. Mosaics
satisfy my urge to make things
whole. I create art to
illustrate how I feel the
world, using color, texture,
and light. I use mosaic and
sculpture as a means of
personal expression, a
reflection of life experience,
and as a tactile language of
universal symbolism. I find
beauty in the fragments of
colored glass, in the
sensuality and smoothness of
clay, and in the contrast of
light and texture. I believe a
sense of humor enhances the
colorful, amusing, and strange
struggles that make us human.
