My passion for glass and mosaics shapes every piece I create.

Experience: 20+ years

Working with glass offers a unique interplay of light and color, allowing me to explore textures and forms in a way that feels both dynamic and transformative. I thrive on the challenge of mixing different mediums, integrating my diverse skills into cohesive works of art.

My training has taken me across the globe, from the innovative art spaces of the United States to the timeless studios of Italy. Each experience has enriched my understanding of materials and techniques, broadening my artistic vocabulary.

In Italy, I immersed myself in traditional mosaic methods, learning to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship that defines this art form. In the U.S., I explored contemporary approaches, discovering how to push boundaries and incorporate new ideas into my work.

I have a deep love for revamping and repurposing old pieces of furniture, transforming them into functional art that tells a story. This commitment to sustainability allows me to breathe new life into forgotten items, merging practicality with creativity.

I am constantly seeking to learn new techniques and mediums, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire to innovate. My art is a reflection of my journey—each piece a testament to my love for exploration and my commitment to evolving as an artist. Through my mosaics and functional pieces, I aim to inspire others to see beauty in the fusion of materials and the stories they tell.
