"Working with glass is
a transforming process.
The pieces are broken,
change shape, fit
together, then made
whole again with glue
or grout - sometimes in
unexpected ways. It is
important to me in our
throw-away society to
reinvent discarded
items, chipped mirrors
or scrap glass into
sacred art, objects of
art formed in prayer.
My mosaics range from
abstract sculpture and
landscapes to liturgical
wall hangings and
commissioned works.
They allow me to
connect my art to my
faith. I try to express
some of my wonder at
creation and the
Creator in each piece."
