"When I was young my crayons were in rainbow order.
For as long as I can remember art has been a part of me. Like many artists, I’ve dabbled in many mediums. I have found mosaics, combining all my artistic experiences. I have been told I'm 'painting with glass'.
When I work with glass creating mosaic art, I sense a harmony and familiarity form my youth. My glass is in rainbow order.
