I have dedicated my life to artistic expression, weaving creativity through every chapter of my journey. With accomplished careers in textile design and art education behind me, I have now turned my focus to the luminous world of glass arts—mosaics, stained glass, and an enduring love for painting.

​

My process is an interplay of intention and intuition. While some mosaic pieces are meticulously shaped, others are guided by the spontaneous charm of found fragments. I embrace the magic that emerges when materials speak for themselves—allowing reflections and textures, shine and softness, to dictate the direction of the work.

​

Inspired by the natural beauty of my Florida surroundings, I transform cut glass into evocative compositions often mistaken for paintings at a glance. Upon closer inspection, the viewer discovers thousands of intricately arranged shards forming delicate, vibrant scenes—each one a testament to the precision and passion behind the art.

I am represented by The Hub on Canal in New Smyrna Beach, FL. and Acacia Tree Gallery on Aviles Street in Saint Augustine, FL. I am currently offering classes in mosaics, stained glass and various painting methods in my beautiful downtown DeLand, FL studio.
