Artist Bio:

I have been working in mosaic since 2000, creating custom architectural installation and fine art panels, with a focus on sustainability. Installation work includes backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, stair risers, entryways, window treatments and more. Fine art panels are for sale at Matter! Gallery in Olympia, WA and at Frank n Dunya gallery in Seattle, WA. I also have a selection of unique mosaic art jewelry at both locations. I love the tactile nature of mosaic, and the process of breaking or cutting materials to create something whole out of fragments. I work in bright colors and organic hues, abstract and representational designs, creating flat, shimmering surfaces or highly textured, 3-dimensional work. Mosaic has a wide variety of applications, and nearly unlimited technique. It is one of the most ancient mediums, yet it is breaking new ground in the contemporary art world, and I can’t stop exploring.

Reclaiming POWER

Thank you to all who joined us for June’s POWER outage where we began our discussion with the questions:

What are we uniting around?
What does it mean to have a strong social safety net?
What are the steps to ending poverty?
… What does economic equality look like?

We will be building from the answers to these questions to delve more specifically into a clear plan of action and intention to help us shape and define POWER’s work and future goals.

Join us in this collaborative process on Monday, July 2nd
5:30-6:00pm Potluck * 6:00-8:00 Discussion
at Darby’s Cafe 211 5th Avenue in downtown Olympia

Childcare will be provided by the fabulous Olympia Childcare Collective at the POWER office, 309 5th Avenue.
