BACKGROUND & TRAINING:
My artistic exploration with mixed media mosaics started 30 years ago when it became essential for me to touch the surface.  I quickly shifted from painting on canvas to wood: gouging, cutting, burning, attaching.  This approach is directly related to my anthropological studies at UofT.

Teaching has always provided a wealth of communication solving opportunities:

In Toronto I developed a program structured around Biomimicry – using concepts of natures PROCESS to help my students design with mosaics.

This was directly related to my work at Interface Inc. (they design and manufacture modular carpet tiles).

At the World Washi Summit, Toronto – I designed a Mosaics workshop using Japanese paper – adding a soft element to my mixed media art.

My collaboration with architects/designers to create interior and exterior commissioned projects is a continuing source of creative AND technical knowledge.
