When I took my first mosaic workshop, my response was immediate and intense. I needed to make mosaics. As a painter for twenty years, I had always been charmed by the intense colors of Rouault and the primitive painters of Haiti. Consequently, I found the shift to the color and texture possibilities of mosaics natural and intriguing. Since that first mosaic class I have experimented with a variety of materials including glass, porcelain, stones, beads, found objects, and hand made tiles, to create unique innovative work.
