I’m a self-taught mosaic artist. The things I love most about mosaic are its tactile quality, the slow, almost meditative quality of actually making a mosaic, the fact that fragments are assembled together to create wholeness, and its permanence and durability. I’m captivated by colour, shape, texture and light reflectivity, which I constantly explore to bring a sense of movement and fluidity to my art.
My inspiration comes from my emotions, my vision of the world and the observation of nature.

This piece symbolises the eternal conflict of positive and negative forces that accompany us in our journey of life.
In crystal therapy, the agate is believed to illuminate, give balance, strength, protection and support.
The opposing forces, represented by the darker colours, converge towards the agate nucleus feeding it with energy, energy transformed into positivity by the agate itself and symbolised by the harmonious circular shape.

This piece is about the universal search for our dream. The viewer can identify with the mirror figure, reaching out for the shell circular shape representing the dream. The resistance and obstacles we encounter in our quest are symbolised by the movement in the background, like strong water currents, while millefiori and silver represent the hidden treasures found in difficulties, helping us grow and develop.
Colours are chosen because of their significance in chromotherapy: Blue represents the spiritual aspects of our life and is linked with artistic expression; Indigo assists in finding inspiration, concentration, clarity, intuition; Violet enhances spiritual power and creativity.
