Extraordinary Eco-Friendly Fine Art

My vision: to respond to the muse through the disciplines of painting and mosaic by creating a connected collection of representational or abstract images in segments of amazing color utilizing resources that would otherwise go to waste.

It's an organic communion of thought and inspiration. I portray images as I imagine they should be. I am motivated by external stimuli - art and beauty, fashion and design.

I am a rabid recycler - I am compelled to upcycle* unusual resources to create my art and give others’ images and words a new life in my work. Look closely for menu items, cruise itineraries, gallery openings... stand back to view the sum of the parts - a textural representation of beauty.

In my head, Synesthesia*, Eidetic Imagery*, Perfect Pitch* and an unquenchable desire to delve into concepts, history, images and ideas – compete and collide. I take fascinating and colorful expeditions down rabbit holes. My art reflects the conclusion of these voyages utilizing an ability to see images in tiny bits, in a color scheme that may only exist in my mind. 

"What's in a face?" "What is beauty?" I am forced to explore this concept. It is only a visage we present for review. Look past the immediate and discover what's behind the mask. See the “thinker behind the eyes” through an intricate facade. I believe we are an aggregate of tiny bits: who we are and where we've been - or who we want or pretend to be. The tesserae, the "tiles" represent those bits in color and texture and meaning.

The how, the process, is not important – the finished creation is the end of the journey. Now, it is up to you to enjoy.
