About/Contact

I am the artisan behind all the designs seen here and also the creator of this website. I am an independent artist currently living in Santa Fe, NM. I specialize in handcrafted stained glass and mosaic art, as well as broken china jewelry. I have been making stained glass over 20 years. My work has been featured at numerous Colorado galleries in Boulder, Littleton and Evergreen. Today I sell my art directly to local individuals and online all across the country.

MOSaIC ART + WOOD BOWLS

My latest creative love affair is wood bowl mosaics. I cannot stop thinking about them and making them. It started about a year ago when I was wanting to return to making mosaics, but I wanted a new medium other than the usual flat surface. One day I stumbled across an old rustic wood bowl in the garage and had a huge lightbulb moment -- what a great vessel for mosaics! I simply love the look of combining rustic with refined. I hunted down new supplies and today there is still no end in sight for the stream of ideas constantly filling my head.

My designs range from simple and whimsical to more refined and spiritual-inspired pieces. I like incorporating hand-cut stained glass tiles, my hand-made resin tiles, broken Mexican tiles and broken china (picassiette). Each piece is made with expert craftmanship with special attention to design and detail from many years of experience. I draw my inspiration from everywhere. . . nature and mountain landscapes, Southwestern art, published mosaic art, stained glass windows in churches, and my love of animals.

As for supplies, I have an addictive habit of constantly growing my stash of stained glass sheets, beads, crystals, broken china tiles and porcelain plates. I especially cherish my plate backstamp collection from around the world and incorporate some in my art . Below are a few of my favorites.
