Art has always been an interest of mine from an early age, starting with drawing caricatures then progressing to more detailed portraits. Working as a chef had dominated my life for 30years, so undertaking art unfortunately took a back seat besides showing my creative side in my culinary work. Only until I moved to Margaret River back in 2016, was I able to find a work / life balance and inspiration to express myself artistically. I found that my love of nature, colour and artistic background, was the perfect recipe for me to go on this creative journey in the art of mosiacing. Challenging myself and attempting new things is noticable in the variety of work I produce, such as birdbaths, mosaiced coffee tables and my most popular being wall art. Upcycling includes working with items of furniture, pallets, gas cylinders finished off by acrylic paints and glass. Glass is my primary medium, such as smalti, irredescent and tesserae tiles. Recent pieces have also incorporated ceramics, gems, marble and shells. Experimenting with colours and designs is so much fun. I thrive working with various mediums and finding new obscure ones. I find there are no boundaries and its just a matter of letting loose with your imagination and see where it leads. Local residents and businesses have continued to show their support these past few years and I can't thank them enough. It means so much. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here to show you my mosaics pieces and evolving artwork.
