what’s happening in the studio
I have been very busy creating a wide range of new projects! Large mosaic commissions for a hospital, a local non-profit, and a gallery. Two new projection-animation installations: Luminous Labyrinths at Blume Studios in Charlotte, NC and Enchanted Oasis at Lumenaura in Aurora, IL. Both open first week of October. My children’s book, My Garden, was published in April, and I have 2 more books in the works. Plus, my board game, Dog Park is well on the way to becoming a reality. Scroll down for details on everything new.
Luminous Labyrinths
Stepping into our immersive installations is like stepping into another world. A magical world that is full of energy, color, and wonder. Large-scale animated projections by Jeff Cason, using Brenda Pokorny’s mosaic creations challenge guests to follow the paths and soak in the magic underfoot. Appropriate for all ages, and accessible to all. Experience the joy at Blume Studios opening October 3, 2025. More info
