I began working with mosaics as a hobby while attending college. Though I put it down for awhile to start a family, I was able to pick it back up fairly quickly. Being self-taught I have tried to expand my knowledge using anything I can. From YouTube videos and online classes to books, I am continuously researching to learn as much as I can. I started off with small custom and practical items trying out new techniques and mediums to add to my overall work. Lately I am able to focus more on my own designs while still making custom items for others.
