I am a mosaic artist in Mooresville, North Carolina.  I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a concentration in textile design from Miami University, and began my career in textile design.

After 10 years managing my textile design business, I started playing around with mosaic, and instantly knew I had found my calling.

Gardens and nature inspire me.  I am also inspired by travel.  My work is influenced by the ancient mosaics I have seen, as well as the breathtaking scenery I have stumbled upon around the world.  Recently, I have been exploring mandalas and labyrinths in mosaic, borrowing from the hedge mazes and labyrinths I have visited, as well as my interest in meditation.  My mosaics range from framed art to architectural installations to functional pieces such as garden benches and tables. 

Another project I’m excited about is my new endeavor, Get Lost Mazes. Immersive 360° interactive art experiences, based on my mazes and labyrinths. Projected large-scale onto the floor, my labyrinths invite you to step into another world. The walls and ceiling swirl and change with each scene, while you wander the path. Meant to be enjoyed by all ages, and all abilities, I hope to stage these magical experiences in venues around the country. More info here.

My goal is to bring beauty, serenity, and joy to the world.
