Today is Day 3 of setting up my booth for the Kings Mountain Art Fair, and I can’t wait to see everything come together! 🦢💙
I’ll have my 3D mosaic artwork, jewelry, and puzzles featuring my original mosaic landscapes—all ready for you to explore starting on the first day of the fair!
And this year is extra special for me because, for the first time, I have the largest booth, taking over Hiep’s space while he takes a break from participating in the fair this year. It’s a big space, and I’m having so much fun filling it with my art! 🎨✨
I hope you’ll come visit, say hello, and see my newest creations in person. I’d LOVE to see you there! ❤️

It was completed just in time for the upcoming Kings Mountain Art Fair over Labor Day weekend! ✨🌊✨There is something especially unique about this piece: it is my first landscape mosaic designed entirely without a sky. The original view was taken from the top of the Brown Building, looking down over the vibrant buildings, harbor, and breathtaking coastal landscape of Portofino.Visiting the Fair:🍳 Hot Breakfast: Served starting at 8:00 a.m. (come early to catch it!)🚌 Parking & Transit: Park along Skyline Blvd and catch the free shuttle directly to the fairgrounds.

I came to the Pescadero Festival to pick up my artwork from the two-day exhibition this weekend. To my surprise, 4 out of my 6 pieces were sold! This is the first time I’ve ever sold four pieces during such a short exhibition. What wonderful news! I’m so happy and grateful!
One of the sold pieces, “A Girl and Her Cat,” was created just two months ago. What makes this sale especially meaningful is that it will become a birthday gift for my granddaughter, who was the inspiration behind the piece. It couldn’t have found a more special home! ❤️

"Mt Shasta in Spring" - a commission from a client who lives in Mount Shasta.

07/15/2026

This custom mosaic was inspired by my client's property overlooking Mt. Shasta and incorporates his own collected obsidian stones and flakes, along with raw sapphires. The biggest challenge was finding a meaningful way to use the obsidian. After much thought (and even a few dreams!), I used the tiny obsidian flakes to create Mt. Shasta itself, giving the mountain both rich texture and a personal connection to the land.
Larger obsidian pieces, sapphires, ceramic owls, butterflies, and tiger-eye frogs were woven into the landscape, creating layers of texture and little discoveries throughout the artwork.

My favorite part of every commission is hearing the client's reaction:
"WOW! It is unbelievably beautiful. The attention to detail is astounding. I could stare at it for hours and still discover something new. It will have a place of honor in our home, where the changing light will bring out the beauty of all the incredible materials in the piece."

Thank you for trusting me to transform treasured memories and meaningful materials into a lasting work of art.
