I have been commissioned to do a Bamboo Forest with Butterflies. The funnest part is inventing the Butterflies. I kinda feel like Mother Nature herself!
Here is one of my latest mirrors for my good friends Carol and Pat Kane. They ordered 3 in all, i guess they like my work!
It is my handpainted glass that was produced to match the 2 glass balls that were already on the dresser. I also made a small dish to hold the balls for a "thank-you".
Here is a close-up for detail. In case you wondered....... Over 9,000 pieces!

I have started a mirror for my beautiful friend Lee Ann and thought i would share the process with you. My inspiration is the gorgeous antique wood furniture in the room. It has layers and layers of paint ranging from turquoise to red and gold.
Lee Ann is a good friend and a masterful artist (check out her blog at www.sunsoulart.com), the pressure is on and i hope she likes it!
Here is the glass after i have painted it. The customers get a little worried when they see it like this.
Here is the glass flipped over and stacked........looks a little better huh?
I am a proffessional mosaic artist and live in a one room palapa on the beach in a small town near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico called Bucerias. I have renovated a residential plaza that was located around the corner into an art center with 4 galleries, mosaic school, painting and cooking schools also. I founded a local art walk for all the galleries in town and now it just sounds like I am bragging! The summer of 2009 is going to be all about experimenting for me. First this blog, then I took some kite surfing lessons and next painting lessons!
