From my profile in EntryThingy: Artist Statement For the past few years, I have been creating woven bead mosaics in 2D and 3D, and bead installations. Beads allow me the ability to paint with a myriad of colors, transparencies, textures and lusters of light. My work straddles many categories of decorative craft and fine art. I hope that those who view my work will enjoy the sensuous optical, dimensional, and tactile stimuli that I am presenting in them and experience a sense of wonder. My work often celebrates artists of any media, nature, climate change, science, space exploration, and visionary art.

This is the time for everybody to emerge after sheltering and masking from contagion. It is time to get out into the sun and enjoy each other’s company. Finally together, our shared delight is enhanced in the beauty and wonder of the natural world.  Artwork description uploaded to saatchiart.com/
"Permafrost" is from a series of woven bead mosaics on convex mirrors inspired by climate science. The series intends to chronicle the thawing of geologic ice. The beads have a variety of lusters that mimic the look of glistening ice crystals in a matrix of matte soil. I chose to create mosaics on salvaged convex mirrors for two reasons. The convex mirror is used as a poetic device because we monitor our surroundings in them for imminent hazards. I also like the optical effects I can get from layering different transparencies of glass and reflective beads over a mirror. The light coming in and bouncing around creates a more luminous and variable work of art. To get the look of ice without being literal, I used a circular hexagonal pattern and chose beads that reminds me of the crystalline patterns of ice. Applied March 8, 2022
