Hand-Pieced Pathways

There is a simple, tactile joy in piecing together a mosaic. I create these stepping stones because I love the process—the way colors play against each other and the satisfaction of turning fragments into a functional path. These are meant to bring a bit of handmade whimsy to the garden, plain and simple.

Built to be walked on, admired, or both.

"Seeking Serenity"

A reflection of a moment in time. Created during the 2020 lockdown, this piece was born from a personal search for peace and perspective. Through the rhythmic assembly of fragments, it captures the quiet focus required to find serenity amidst a world at a standstill.
