Artist Statement:
Two things form the basis of
all my work: a reverence for,
and a desire to represent the
wonder of nature, and a wish
to illustrate the essential
'now' - that ever-fleeting
moment where eternity is
glimpsed but never retained.
I am an artist who has
specialised in mosaics for 12
years and am a member of the
British Association for Modern
Mosaics and the American
Society of Modern Mosaic.
I work to commission both
public and private; I exhibit
in groups and alone; and I
teach in the medium at all
levels.

“Two things form the basis of all my work: a reverence for, and a desire to represent the wonder of nature; and a wish to illustrate the essential 'now' - that ever-fleeting moment when eternity is glimpsed but never retained.
The medium of mosaic is a continual challenge to an artist because of its inevitable gravity and permanence. My aim is to find ways of defying this essence. I perpetually try to innovate with techniques and materials to achieve this. I may find a solution involving exquisite use of miniature tiles, each painstakingly
customised by hand to reveal a desired effect, or perhaps in the technique of
application involving radical overlays, combinations or juxtapositions.
Nature is a recurrent theme in my work: its dominance, its universality, its
omnipresence and particularly its awesome indifference to human concerns. I resist the abstract movement, preferring instead to focus on esoteric and philosophical questions expressed in a figurative and contemporary way.
Irrespective of personal taste, my mosaics are guaranteed to provoke discovery, debate and delight.
I studied History of Art at the University of Rennes. I am self-taught as a mosaicist after experiencing a eureka moment thirteen years ago involving close friends and some black grout! I am a professional member of the American and British Associations of Mosaicists (BAMM and SAMA). I work to commission both public and private and I exhibit nationally and internationally.”
