Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

I work as a Teaching Artist where I facilitate the creation of mosaics using mostly non-traditional materials of recycled stained glass, mirror, glass and vitreous tile. The majority of mosaics are created as a group project and are installed as murals, but individual projects are possible.  Teaching and encouraging community building through mosaic making with diverse populations is my passion and my joy. I work with small groups and with all ages.  I approach mosaic making as a metaphor for living; every piece matters, every person matters! Ask me about integrating my program into your setting.
