CREATIONS: FabMo's tiles find a new life in my mosaics in the shape of pumpkins, tables, flowerpots, and more. No two the same, all made with lots of care and detail.
ABOUT THE ARTISAN: Growing up in Germany in my day went hand-in-hand with learning traditional arts and crafts, which I always thoroughly enjoyed. Over the years I’ve done oil and silk painting, pottery, decoupage, and photography while pursuing a business career during the day. After being introduced to making mosaics in 2001 in Half Moon Bay, California, I knew that I had found my medium. Creating colorful, contrasting rich mosaics became first a passion and then a profession.
Throughout my life I have been a strong believer in “don’t waste but reuse, re-purpose, or re-cycle” so it was only natural that I found my way to FabMo many years ago. I have since become a regular ‘user’ and volunteer. One of my missions is to educate other artists about FabMo and their fabulous material, and I create special showpieces to show what I do with it. I am a member of the local Full Spectrum Mosaic Artists of Silicon Valley, the Society of American Mosaic Artists, and the Deutsche Organisation für Mosaikkunst (DOMO-ev.de). I work on private commissions and regularly volunteer on community projects with other artists or as project lead. My studio at Art Bias in San Carlos, California.
