Biography

I am passionate about teaching mosaic art and shattering the misconception that mosaic art is difficult, therefore I run workshops, travel to schools and work on community projects. My aim is to create bright and lovely outdoor mosaic art that can be admired whilst walking through a park or a train station without having to go to a gallery.

inspiration

My inspiration comes from so many different places; the natural world, birds, flowers and countryside. I see possibilities for mosaic art in almost everything I see. I recently created a fish mosaic from an image I saw on a wine bottle!

I absolutely love Roman mosaics so I am always inspired by them, and try to create them with a modern twist.

medium

I am very lucky that mosaic art uses lots of different mediums.

The main things I use are glass and ceramic tiles but my studio is full of broken crockery (I can be found most weekends at car boot fayres and charity shops) I use stones, shells, sea glass, mirror and even jewellery beads.

I put my mosaics onto tables, wood, cement board, slate and stepping stones.

Mosaic art is so versatile and I learn something new every day.
