I love the idea that one piece of glass alone has no significance until it is brought together with many other pieces to create a bigger unified picture. This is the mosaic process and I love teaching this accessible artform to all students from any kind of background. I have taught at various schools, non-profits and other community organizations to create both large and small-scale mosaics. There is nothing more rewarding than being able to share my enthusiasm for mosaics with others.

• Working together on creating a design for community public artwork
• Connecting art, nature, math, and science in a classroom setting
• Creating mosaics as a team or individually
• Building confidence in artmaking by ensuring there is no “right or wrong” way to create
