Galleries

UNDER SEA FIREPLACE MOSAIC In December 2013 my landlord gave me permission to demolish the lava from my fireplace and create whatever I wanted. I rented a demolition hammer (hand held jack hammer) and removed the lava. What a chore! It has taken me 19 months and approximately 1000 hours to create this piece! Throughout my apartment I have black and gray tile on the floor.
BEADED SQUARES  In this gallery you will find my most recent completed pieces of work.
LIFE CAN BE A SCREAM I was inspired to create a very unique piece of art. I took Edvard Munch's "The Scream" and recreated it on canvas. I used #2 glass 1/4" bugle beads.
SKULLS & BONES Here is a collection of animal skulls and bones I adorned with Swarovski crystals.
GALLERY I Working with small beads and crystals is my passion.
GALLERY II More pieces of my passion for beads.
HIGH HEEL SHOES These heels weight about 5 pounds. They are filled with a cement compound to keep the shape of the shoe.
FRUIT This is a commissioned piece I did for someone from New Zealand. It is a set of seven artificial fruit encrusted in Swarovki crystals.
BOXES Here you'll find a collection of boxes I have created over the last decade.
LIGHT SWITCHES Here are various light switch covers that are bejeweled with beads, crystals and in mosaic style.
MOSAICS I was inspired by an artist named Sharon Von Senden. She created the mosaic that covers the walls and floor at the St. Louis Museum.
ADULT WORK This gallery is for adult related works.
GRAHAME PERRY'S PHOTOGRAPHY USING MY ART A talented photographer friend of mine the late Grahame Perry borrowed some of my art to create some beautiful art of his own.
