As a small child my mother, also an artist, opened her own stained glass business in Fairbanks, Alaska. Through the years I worked at her shop, which started out small but grew into one of the largest gift shops and working studios in Fairbanks. I began dabbling in different forms of art along with teaching classes in the shop.
Over time, I discovered my own personal love for glass mosaics. I began creating unique and beautiful works of art that were inspired by the nature around me, along with my experience growing up in Alaska.
Mosaics intrigue me mostly because of the calming process of puzzling small pieces of glass together to form a beautiful and larger image. Each mosaic has hundreds of pieces that I precisely place. Every piece I create is unique in its own way. No two pieces are, or could ever be the same.
I have expanded by having a home studio as well as selling my products in 10 gift shops in the state of Alaska. I also do custom orders as well as teach classes in the Fairbanks Area. Although my main focus is on the glass mosaics I also enjoy creating a variety of different forms of art. Along with mosaics I produce jewelry, painted wood ornaments, junk Art, Stained glass and fused glass creations.
As an artist my main goal in life is to constantly be changing, constantly be growing and constantly creating. Art has become a huge part of my life and a huge part of who I am as a person. I am so thankful that I love what I do every day. Thank you for enjoying my art as much as I enjoy creating it!
