Mosaics
I work primarily with glass. My work often also contains a variety of other objects--marbles, nails, washers, screws, pearls, glass crystals, shells, even small spoons. You'll also often find remnants of circa 16th century pottery in my mosaics. These ceramic shards are salvaged from my parents' back garden in England--long buried broken crockery uncovered as they dig a flower bed or plant vegetables. Other items are found and reclaimed, from the streets of DC, from junk stores and flea markets, or from discarded belongings, and then given a new life in my art.
While I find the vertical format lends itself best to my style of work, most of my pieces are representative of landscapes of one kind or another.
I was born in Washington DC and have lived here since 1999, spending the intervening years in Buckinghamshire, England. I currently live in Bloomingdale, a few blocks north of Artomatic.
