Mosaic Portfolio
Featured works from my studio, with a little bit of story behind them. Making each one has been its own adventure.
Boundless
Inspired by a very personal journey, Boundless is the piece I needed to make. Four months, exactly 100 threads, and more sessions than I can count. A ribbon of color winding through darkness and rising, boundless, into the light.
This piece measures 6×15 inches, made entirely from Italian smalti pulled into malmischiato threads.

Clever Lizard
A portrait of my beloved bearded dragon, Lewis, this was a meaty project with 40 hand-pulled threads. And in the end, Lewis approved!
This piece measures 8×8 inches, made from Italian smalti, stone, and a small amount of Mexican smalti.

Inner Piece
A piece of uramaki sushi, my favorite indulgence, rendered entirely in hand-pulled malmischiato. Because some subjects demand nothing less.
This piece measures 4×4 inches, made exclusively from Italian smalti.
Crustose
Named for the lichen that inspired this piece, look closely in the field and you'll find one of nature's most dimensional and complex surfaces, full of color, texture, and surprising detail.
This piece measures 4×4 inches, made from Italian smalti and stone.
