Wearable mosaics - belt buckles, rings, pendants - are inspired by the things I love - folk art, whimsy, Native American jewelry, funk, irreverence, mythology, poetry, reverence, soulfulness. Glass, found objects, gems, stones are just some of the materials you'll find in my mosaics. But the main ingredient you'll find in my work is LOVE. In this age of mass produced goods, our hearts long for a connection with something that's created by hand with love and imagination. It's my hope these belt buckles and jewelry will bring a smile to your face and a connection to your soul.
I learned the joy of creating with my hands from my mother and grandmother as a child. That creativity launched my interest in art. Working in different mediums, 15 years ago I found my voice with mosaic. I studied traditional mosaic methods and materials in Italy which are incorporated in my own style.
Lately I've also been focusing on work for the home - tables, lamps, mirrors, chandeliers. You can view them at MosaicGoddessatHome.com
