Symbolic Art
Art exploring meaning, connection, and the unseen.
I’m drawn to making art that carries meaning beyond what you see at first glance.
Symbols, archetypes, nature, and everyday objects become ways to explore ideas that interest me — connection, transformation, strength, reflection, and our relationship to the world around us.
Some pieces begin with a particular meaning in mind. Others reveal their meaning as I make them. Either way, the materials are part of the language: glass, clay, stone, color, texture, and form all have something to say.
Celestial Faces
A mixed-media series exploring human experience through the symbolic language of the planets. Each piece pairs a celestial body with a human quality—presence, reflection, will, transformation, attraction, and more—then gives that idea physical form through clay, glass, color, and texture.
Ceramic Bells
These ceramic bells explore the relationship between form, sound, and meaning. Each is shaped by hand, with its visual character and its voice developing together. Some ring clear and resonant; others are softer and more percussive. Sound becomes another material in the work—something experienced rather than simply seen.
Mosaic Prayer Tiles & Labyrinths
These small mosaics are made to be held, touched, and traced. Some follow traditional labyrinth paths, while others use symbolic patterns and forms that invite the fingers to move slowly across the surface.
I began making them as objects for prayer, meditation, and reflection. I’m interested in the way touch changes our relationship with an artwork. Following a line or tracing a pattern turns looking into a physical experience.
Glass, stone, texture, pattern, and symbolic imagery give each piece its own character and meaning.
These mosaics grew from my interest in mythology, nature, archetypes, and the many ways cultures have given human form to forces larger than ourselves.
I’ve explored goddesses, elemental figures, spiritual traditions, and imagined beings through glass, color, pattern, and symbolism. Most of these pieces have found homes, but this is a body of work I expect to return to as my work continues to evolve.
Goddess & Archetype Mosaics
Reflection Decks
My reflection decks extend the ideas and symbolism in my mosaic art into another form. They aren't about predicting what comes next. They're about looking inward and seeing more clearly what is already there.
The Mindful Seven Principles
A new approach to the Nguzo Saba, exploring each principle through the lens of mindfulness. The card imagery grows from my mosaic interpretations of the seven principles, creating a visual and reflective practice for bringing them into everyday life.
The Radiant Within
A 44-card journey through goddesses, archetypes, and mosaic-inspired imagery. Each card combines symbolism with reflection and inquiry, exploring qualities such as power, compassion, mystery, nature, and truth as aspects of our own inner lives.
