“‘Andamento’ is the visual movement or rhythm produced by mosaic elements, similar to the patterns formed by leaves, ridges in a tree’s bark, or a series of clouds in the sky. By leading the viewer through the contours, ebb and flow of the subject, a mosaic artist creates the feeling of a subject through choice of materials, colors, and elements. My work is a combination of modern and ancient materials, still using stone, glass, hammer, and chisel. I am dedicated to preserving the tradition of mosaic art, along with the techniques and materials used in the past. One must study and remember the past to be informed for the future.” – The Artist
