Stone patio sanctuary

Keys to the Kingdom

Stone mosaic installations for interior and exterior of pool house patio and Bar. This project was a great opportunity to explore some surreal concept design. The butterfly wings on skeleton key body’s fly toward the hibiscus flowers with keyholes in the center. The waterfalls on the back bar are created using backlit selenite towers that shimmer like glowing water

Golden Ratio Spiral Foyer

I was commissioned to create this piece as a sacred space in the heart of a very unique country home in Erin, NY. It is made entirely with a variety of repurposed and scrap stone and tile.

Natural Slate Shower Room

Large Brazilian slate shower room installed in the mission district of San Francisco. For this project I envisioned emulating the feel of being in a gorge in the finger lakes. The multi color Brazilian slate added some nice variations in tone that lent well to the hammered copper sink and antique Chinese cabinet repurposed to fit it.

Cascada

mixed media mosaic at the Finger Lakes Reuse Center in downtown Ithaca. It was part of a project with 5 artists installations reflecting themes of reuse impacts that connect to the United Nations sustainable development goals. Over the course of two years I designed, planned and collected a variety of materials to incorporate into it. I collected stones and driftwood along the shores of Cayuga lake, scraps of barn wood, tools, circuit boards and a variety of small discarded objects which I used within little pockets of the overall piece to create tiny cubbies of nostalgia. The piece as a whole when one steps back shows the landscape of a great waterfall.

Waterfall Dreamers

These matching waterfall themed pieces were commissioned to be installed above their beds and incorporate back lit translucent stones for the moons, barn wood, driftwood, fossil stones and semi precious gemstones

Patio and stairs with pebble mosaics

The intention for this project was to create small island patios and a winding staircase that are joined with randomly placed stepping stone paths. Small pebble mosaic designs Are centered in the larger areas. The final result blends into the landscape in a way that makes it appear it has been there for several decades
