Biography

The original inspiration for my work comes from my childhood fascination with the stained glass windows in my church. I loved the way the coloured glass pieces came together to make a whole. As an adult I developed a love of re-purposing unwanted items and so mosaicing became my creative expression of these two loves brought together. The image shown is an example of this, many small colourful bits of glass coming together as a whole while being centered by a glass disk that was found in my neighbour’s garden under layers of dirt. I call it ‘Aztec Sun’.

Participating in the VCST gives me an opportunity to share my love of mosaics as expressed in my colourful style.
