About myself

What characterizes my work and style is the way I chose to combine classic mosaic styles with uniformity and harmony that dictates limits, with a range of materials, objects, shapes and colors.

I am fascinated and curious about the dialogue that is created between color and shapes, between one share and another, one color and another.

My works have evolved from my extensive knowledge and skill in original cutting edge mosaic techniques as well as familiarity with other disciplines such as ceramic sculpture papier mach design and jewelry making

In addition to the usual more familiar materials used in mosaic such as ceramic tesserae natural stone and glass, I also integrates into the designs; shells beads, small pieces of jewelry and ceramic objects either of my own creation or collected on travels around the world over the years. They include glass flowers porcelain miniatures crystals and decals all of them colorful and exciting.
