Back in the 1980s I used to do stone and tile/slate work on fireplace and wood stove hearths as a part time business. I always thought it would be fun to do some kind of interesting design built into one of those backgrounds. A while back I began thinking about doing mosaics as an extension of my earlier wishes of doing something along these lines that would be interesting and, presumably, fun. I found mosaic to be a very versatile medium allowing an incredible range of possibilities, and a LOT less work than stone.
I am still experimenting. I have used various glass wall tiles, ceramic wall tiles, and a variety of mosaic tiles such as Prism, aura metallic, smalti, sigris iridium, and mosaic marbles. My first showing was on a 1st Friday in May 2010 at the Fireweed Gallery in Homer AK
