Mosaic art I have been making mosaic art since 2001. Over that time I have developed a deeper love for and attained more skill in this ancient art form. The process is slow and tactile. The final product is an expression of a personal journey. My works are made with various tesserae; smalti glass (Mexican and Italian), marble and various other natural/precious stones and unglazed porcelain. Mosaic works available for sale on the website can be purchased by contacting me directly through the website and at exhibitions. Limited oil paintings are also available.
