Making beautiful art from broken pieces of glass is very compelling for me. The transformation from broken to beautiful inspires and moves me. Although I have done flat mosaics, making dimensional mosaic sculptures, primarily of imagined creatures, has formed my current work. The creatures are made from my welded skeletons, covered with concrete, then finished…
It gives me untold pleasure trolling out-of-the-way towns, backstreets and boulevards gathering ideas upon which to build a painting. It could be the geometry of a factory building, the shadow pattern on a disused old sign or the booth construction in a historic diner that draw my eye. Inspiration can be hiding in plain sight…
