About the Artist
I’m a mosaic artist based in Portland, Maine, working primarily in stone, smalti and glass. I’m drawn to mosaic for the way people have used it for centuries to give form to ideas, places and experiences, and for the physical process of building an image one piece at a time.
My work ranges from contemporary narrative pieces about health, science and personal experience to landscapes, animals and sculpture. Some pieces are serious, others are playful, and many begin with an idea or observation that stays with me long enough that I want to work it out in mosaic.
My earlier professional background in science and medicine continues to influence the way I look at certain subjects, particularly the systems, language and experiences surrounding health. I continue to study traditional mosaic methods, including intensive training in Italy, while developing work rooted very much in the present.
