I am a passionate artist dedicated to creating unique and captivating artworks. The pieces of art I produce, now, are mainly influenced by my age. I am amazed and influenced by contemporary mosaic art. I like the challenge of using an array of materials to produce a piece of work that is visible and touchable. Feeling the texture of the piece adds to the experience and attraction. I may produce a mosaic influenced by the beauty of my surrounding environment, or, to make a statement or tell a story. Mosaic art is produced in a form that would not be as successful, using any other medium. As an artist in a very small town in rural Pennsylvania, I have a goal to inspire those around me. I hope to promote a greater interest in the arts, locally as well as share my art with the world.
