Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What led you to pursue art after retiring?

After retiring from a long career with the Social Security Administration, I finally had the time and space to explore the creative passions I’d carried with me for years. Studying mosaics, assemblage, and collage art helped me reconnect with the artistic voice I’d always felt inside.

What types of artwork do you create?

I specialize in handcrafted 3D mosaics, collage, mixed‑media pieces, and found‑object assemblage. Many of my works incorporate ceramic tile, glass, paper, beads, and unexpected materials that add texture and personality.

Where do you create your artwork?

Every piece is designed and handcrafted in my Sarasota, Florida studio. I work with a mix of traditional and unconventional materials to create art that feels vibrant, dimensional, and full of character.

Do you accept custom commissions?

Yes. I create custom mosaics, mixed‑media pieces, assemblage works, and pet portraits. Clients often come to me with colors, themes, or sentimental objects they’d like incorporated into a piece, and I collaborate with them to bring their ideas to life.

What inspires your artistic style?

I’m inspired by color, texture, and the beauty of everyday objects. I love transforming simple or overlooked materials into expressive works that feel joyful, whimsical, or deeply personal.

Where has your work been shown?

My artwork has been exhibited throughout the Sarasota area and collected by people who connect with its energy, texture, and storytelling.
