I live and work as a mosaic artist in the Haliburton Highlands, three hours north of Toronto in Ontario, Canada. The scenery is breathtaking, people are friendly and the arts community is thriving. Creating is easy here: a quick glance through my studio window offers an abundance of design possibilities.

I chose mosaics as my medium because the palette is unlimited and the outcome, timeless; and frankly, because it's a methodical , thoughtful art form which requires my full attention and discourages multi-tasking! It's both a pleasure and a relief to be able to work at a pace which actually complements the rhythm of my own creativity.

I begin with an idea, then select the materials to be used: ceramic tile, stained glass, broken china, glass beads, stone, found objects, whatever works. These materials are then carefully prepared for use as tesserae which are adhered, piece by piece, to a backing substrate until a form (intended or otherwise) begins to emerge. Finally, the finished work is grouted and sealed for protection.

I hope you enjoy your gallery visit. Feel free to contact me for more information.
