Completed mosaic of a white-bellied sea eagle coming in for landing. Its wings are swept back, talons extended forward and spread wide, capturing the dramatic moment with bold, detailed tile work. The eagle's white chest contrasts with its dark wings against a blank background.

Not Just Mosaics — Stories Told in Shards and Stone

Every piece I create starts as a hand-painted concept — not traced, templated, or copied. These designs are deeply personal, inspired by my own animals, environment, and life.

From concept to cut, every shard of tile is placed by hand to tell a story — one of emotion, meaning, and lasting beauty.

Each mosaic I create is made with individually hand-cut shards, typically just a few millimetres in size. This fine-scale approach is a contemporary take on the ancient Opus Vermiculatum technique, where every piece flows with the natural rhythm and movement of the design — a principle known as andamento. Through this method, I’m able to capture intricate detail and emotional depth in each work, creating pieces that are both expressive and enduring.

This is art designed to endure. Built to be touched, seen, remembered.

If you're looking for something truly original, created with purpose, heart, and heirloom craftsmanship — welcome. You're in the right place.
