Three years ago I started playing around with glass Mosaics in my spare time, not knowing where they would take me. Today I have a quality body of work and still I am unsure just where it will all take me. So far I have only sold a few pieces. I really enjoy showing and the work itself is like therapy. The slow process of cutting and placing the glass is very meditative. I have developed a style of working that incorporates my digital paintings under glass. I am not sure where I will go next with my work in terms of subjects and materials, and I guess that is my favorite part of this new journey ... always something new to discover and learn.
Even the entire show submission process itself is a journey of discovery. When I was a girl in college studying art we all sort of regarded the gallery world as some mysterious scary place that would be so eager to reject us and spit on our feeble attempts at art. In reality what I have discovered is that most gallery folks are hard working, kind people that are very generous with their time. As I get older I find it easier and easier to risk rejection. I also find myself creating fewer self defeating stories about people and places. Anyway, thanks for reading my little ramble and checking out my work.
