My first solo show started Feb 1st, 2012 at Fieldstone Winery in Rochester, Mi. It will be up thru the month of February so if you can make it that would be great!

Latest experiment

Not sure what it is about me lately but I can't seem to focus on traditional mosaics anymore. I just keep getting these strange ideas about experimenting instead. My latest piece is something I started last summer and then got stuck. I found the coolest cardboard pieces attached to a new dishwasher and thought, turn them into a frame! So I did.





Then walking around Home Depot I found the coolest hemp rope and thought, a tree!






The piece is finished and hanging at the BBAC in Bloomfield hills, Mi at our MAM art exhibit. I will post a picture of it as soon as I am able to take a good one.

Symphony

Here is my 3rd piece for the Van Singel exhibit in Grand Rapids, MI starting Sept 2009. It is 3' x 4', with the base carved from styrofoam and the tesserae made from busted wine and beer bottles.

Van Singel show in Grand Rapids

Here are two of three pieces I am creating for the MAM Van Singel show. The opening reception will take place on September 13th, 2009 with many of the artists there.

The first piece is called "WildThing" and the other piece is called "Breaking thru the glass"

This was one of two windows that I just dropped off for a fundraiser for MORC called “Windows of Opportunity”. The event will take place at the MORC Clinton Township grounds on Saturday, Sept 12 from 10 am to 3 pm. A preview reception will be held Friday, Sept 11 from 6 to 8 pm on the grounds as well.
The windows came from houses that were tore down so it was kind of cool and kind of sad at the same time. I have no idea where either of mine came from.
