Actually, Mosaic caught me by surprise.

I’ve left a demanding day-job after many years, with no clue what the future holds.

I met a friend, and she brought “just a little something” to create a mosaic on, just for fun. And that’s it! I was hooked.

Mosaics are a passion. When I just started out, I didn’t have the resources to buy expensive materials and equipment, so I found myself scavenging, collecting and experimenting with everyday materials that anyone can use.

It showed me that mosaics are for everyone, anyone can do it, and the skies are the limit.

This is what I teach my students today: in my home studio, at retirement homes, arts collages and with army veterans.

Since I am self-taught, thanks to the great school of the Web, I’m not directly inspired by one teacher and I’m free to follow my own ideas. The materials, colors and textures are directing my work, and many times I follow my intuition and not a blueprint.

Bringing together different pieces to a new whole, bringing life back to materials no one uses anymore - it’s still magic for me, and I’m delighted when my students “catch the mosaics bug” and enjoy this therapeutic magic.

Many of the works I choose to display at my Etsy store were chosen by their weight. I’m aware of international shipping rates, and want the buyer to feel Mosaic art is available and easy to get, even though it’s a handmade piece of art!

I take great pride in quality finishing and details, and I see it as an integral part of the art I love and enjoy.

The fact that people all over the world choose to buy my mosaic products fills me with joy, when I think that a small item of mine was sent to brighten someone’s day, somewhere out there on the globe. It’s a very fulfilling feeling!
