I began working on mosaics about two years ago as part of a plan to create a Secret Garden at the a local Garden Project.  Although, sadly, this is no longer operating, I now concentrate on creating mosaics mostly for pleasure these days.

I first began with the Seahorse Mosaic.  This was the first mosaic I created and it took me just a few days to complete.  This was constructed using slate as a base onto which were fixed broken ceramic tile.  My next big project was the Golden Condor which was a permanent fixture in the Secret Garden.  The idea of this particular piece was to not only provide visual impact but something that would reflect the sunlight during the summer months.  I used gold and silver mirror tiles for much of the bird whilst blue tiles (non mirror) were used for the background.  These latter tiles were laid out in a wavy patter to simulate the sea.

Later projects have been concentrated on smaller works such as vases, picture frames, small garden panels etc..  My last major piece of work was a small mosaic planter as seen below.

At present I am concentrating on work that involves more spiritual and natural themes for both internal and external features/subjects.
