Mixed Media Fine Art
My work is a quiet, intricate chaos: a deliberate yet random interplay of tint and shade, uneven and polished surfaces, with glossy and matte finishes, on curved and linear forms.
This is my visual language.
In 2018, an introductory mosaics class sparked something immediate and enduring in me. I pursued my study - both in person and online - to fine art mosaics, where I became especially drawn to mixed media, using recycled and found objects not associated with fine art mosaics, like one-of-a-kind brooches, rusted metal or used screw caps, and combining with vibrant colored glass, pottery shards, broken seashells, or carved marble.
Each piece develops gradually through unhurried, intentional decisions, guided by intuition. I do not start with a story; meaning emerges through reflection after the work is complete.
For commissioned pieces, I encourage the art collector or client to add meaning to their piece by including a personal element - an heirloom timepiece, ceramic fragments, or even a single modern earring - for inspiration.
After all, art is personal.
