About the Artists

"Prior to embarking in this new direction of mosaic, I had spent the past 20 years
designing and producing a line of whimsical hand built clay sculpture that was sold
in galleries throughout the United States. After "growing" a successful production
oriented studio, I began to long for the days when I used my hands and imagination more,
and my calculator and computer less. I decided to turn my attention to a child-hood
passion--mosaics. By designing work that is one of a kind or in small, limited editions,
I feel the excitement of creating once again.

There is something magical and compelling about an object comprised of many small bits.
I'm not sure why I am so drawn to the beauty and complexity of a mosaic piece,
but I consider ourselves fortunate that we're able to express our creativity through
this form."
