history of mosaics presentation

Yesterday, I gave a "History of Mosaics" powerpoint presentation at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts. Oh, it was fun! Thanks to all of you who attended. I'll be teaching a "Mosaic Smalti" class there this winter and the presentation was to kindle excitement for the class. I'm excited!

WIP - hydrengea backsplash for Concero

I'm very excited about this piece. It's a backsplash that will be installed in a kitchen vignette in a new, upscale home remodeling store called Concero. I'm using a technique that I learned at the last SAMA (Society of America Mosaic Artists) conference. Very fun!

approaching mosaics in a new way

Usually, I figure out my mosaic and then make it. This piece took me on a journey. Without knowing exactly where I was going when I started, I listened to what the piece had to say and followed. It was an exhilarating way to work. The title for this piece is: Getting to the Heart of the Matter.

now on shelves

The book has arrived and can be purchaed at Barnes and Noble. I feel so lucky that I'm one of the featured artists.

Edina Art Center

I just found out that "The Tree of Inner Solitude" was accepted in the juried show at the Edina Art Center. I'm very excited!
